Stickley Farms is the Mecca of the Arts and Crafts movement in the US. We booked a private tour with the museum’s curator, which was more than worth the price. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and accommodating of our mobility restrictions. HIGHLY recommended for anyone who cares about the Arts & Crafts Movement in the US.

If you are interested in Gustav Stickley and/or the arts & craft movement this museum is for you. We took the Log House Tour as it was available when we were. Only 1 hour but packed with so much information and sights. The docent tour leader was excellent. Great value for cost. Highly recommend.

We stopped by on our way to NYC & had a wonderful tour with Pete who was incredibly knowledgeable about Gustav Stickley, his businesses & the design of the time. Every question (& we had many!) was answered with enthusiasm. The house and grounds are lovely with many unique pieces to see. You can even take pictures! Small children will probably not appreciate it, but anyone interested in design, Arts & Crafts Movement or furniture should go. And definitely take the guided tour! (And ask for Pete!)

Craftsman Farms plays an important role in the early 1900's arts & crafts movement, when Gustav Stickley formed his school in Parsippany. The house was designed and built by Stickley, and shows the quintessential elements of architecture of that era, which reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes (not quite prairie school, with Stickley's building more rustic but equally beautiful). Craftsman Farms is filled with georgeous examples of original Stickley furniture. The staff at the museum are very pleasant and knowledgeable. This is well off the beaten path of your typical museums yet right off of a major highway (NJ route 10). If you find yourself in Morris County and are looking for a wonderful arts & crafts experience, you can't top a trip to the Stickley Museum.

Visiting friends in Chatham, we were aware of the museum and thought they would enjoy seeing it. We decided to augment the visit by bringing a picnic lunch. It was a special experience and worked out wonderfully well. Our tour guide Josilyn was engaged and instructive, happy to relate information about the site and the family history and to answer questions. Others have commented more extensively with enthusiasm. Suffice to say, we concur.

I am a woodworker and work mostly in the Craftsman /Arts & Crafts/Stickley style. The furniture in the house was mostly original and, oftentimes, was in the house when Stickley lived there.
The really amazing thing is that after Stickley sold the house only one family lived in the house before it was converted into a museum and they made almost no changes to the house which might have ruined its character. Yes, there is restorative work that needs to be done, but if he were to return, he would be pleased with the house as it is today.
There were a few furniture designs that, I think, are unique to the museum and some Harvey Ellis pieces. Surprisingly, interior photos are permitted for private use. This is great for me because I can make my interpretations based on the pix.
The docent, Lynn, was knowledgeable and truly enjoyed the subject matter. I wish that I lived closer so I could participate in the various programs offered throughout the year.

I only stopped here on a tour bus trip. I had heard of the Craftsman style (no, its not Sears!) but never knew of its origins. This was a great tour, every staff member seemed to love their subject, Stickley, and loved telling us everything they could about him and his family. Very informative and enjoyable.

The Stickley Museum is an oasis in the sprawl of Northern New Jersey. Located right off Rt.10, the museum was the home of Gustav Stickley, one o the leading exponents of the Arts & Crafts movement in the United States. The house can only be visited on tours which last about an hour, so be sure to check the times before you arrive. The docents are well trained and you will learn a lot about the family and the Arts & Crafts movement. Unfortunately,the museum tour would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.There is a nice little gift shop and the grounds are lovely.

Today I visited the Gustav Stickley Home and Museum off Route 10 W/B just past Rt 53. This is the family home of one of the great names of the Craftsmen Arts and Crafts movement. Stickley is known for a distinctive line of furniture from the early 20th Century. The family home is nicely preserved and there is a wonderful Docent, Emily to guide you. A great day trip

If I came here to take photos outside on the property, how does the scenery look? Are there any interesting outdoor landmarks and backdrops to make the trip here?
Written August 8, 2017
The outdoor scene is plesant but there is nothing fanciful there. There is of course, something for everyone here.
Written August 21, 2017
There is air conditioning in the house, yes.
