SHIPPEN MANOR ACCESS

Due to ongoing work occurring outside at the Manor, part of our driveway will be open to pedestrian traffic while the lower driveway will remain closed to visitors and vehicles. We thank you in advance for respecting the barricades that are set up for your safety.

We ask that only visitors who have handicap tags or license plates park in our small Belvidere Ave. lot. All other visitors are asked to park in town and walk over to the museum. Visitors can find a parking map on our website: https://www.warrencountynjheritage.com/history/shippen-manor-programming

The Oxford United Methodist Church (across Belvidere Ave.) will be open for tours and snacks from 12-4pm.

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, November 3rd.

Interior tours of Shippen Manor are scheduled for the 1st and 2nd Sundays from May until December (unless a federal holiday or otherwise announced).

The Explore Warren History Trail two-day event is back! Mark your calendar for November 2-3, 2024. Warren County kicks off its year-long bicentennial celebration the following week, so this event is a great way to find out about some of the County's rich history!

12/15/2023

Tomorrow is the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party! And who was right there in the thick of it? Dr. Joseph Warren, for whom Warren County, NJ was named almost 200 years ago. Join us in remembering Dr. Warren and the other brave patriots who stood up to oppression. (That's Dr. Warren you see in the profile picture for this page.)
