PARSIPPANY — The Mount Tabor Historical Society will launch its 2026 season with a special educational program on Saturday, February 7, featuring Dr. Jonathan Clancy, Executive Director of the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms.
The event will take place at 10:00 a.m. in The Bethel, located in Trinity Park in Mount Tabor, and is open to members and the public.
Dr. Clancy will present a lively and informative talk exploring the history of Gustav Stickley’s New Jersey property, recent developments at the museum, and highlights from its nationally significant collection. Located in Parsippany, the Stickley Museum encompasses a 35-acre campus that served as the Stickley family’s home from 1910 to 1917. Although the family’s time there was brief, they constructed several cottages, farm buildings, and the iconic Log Club House, which today serves as the heart of the museum.
The museum’s collection extends beyond Arts and Crafts movement furnishings, featuring rare and important examples of Stickley’s work, personal objects owned and used by the Stickley family from the 1820s through the 1930s, and a research library that supports scholars and historians.
In addition to the featured presentation, attendees will hear about the Mount Tabor Historical Society’s 2026 event schedule, have the opportunity to join or renew their membership, and enjoy coffee, tea, and community fellowship.
“This program is a wonderful way to begin our new season,” organizers said. “Whether you are already familiar with Craftsman Farms or have never visited, Dr. Clancy’s presentation offers a deeper understanding of its history and continued growth.”
The Mount Tabor Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and sharing the unique history of Mount Tabor and fostering community engagement through educational programs and events.
