Join the Whitesbog Events Committee and help in the preservation of Whitesbog Historic Village!

March 16 is NJ Makers Day and Whitesbog will celebrate with family and kids building and making stations, tractors, farm tools, Legos, construction stations, sand boxes, metal working demonstrations, robots, walking stick crafts and more! We need assistants to help set up stations with tools and toys, make signs, assist participants at each building station and help everyone to have fun!

Building stations include the rustic Barrel Factory barn with tables and chairs, fort building, Lego and Kinetics sets for a variety of ages, The Cranberry & Blueberry Museum with cranberry machines, the Whitesbog Gallery with craft supplies of all kinds and the Antique Engine Museum will be open as well as tractor driven rides with vintage tractors. Learn about the PINES education program while building nature forts outside!

This is a free event for families supported by the donations, grants and fundraising events held throughout the year.

Join us today and help make a difference in preserving Whitesbog Historic Village.
