Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at a Roaring '20s event in Rutherfurd Hall. Gatsby was great, but this will be even greater, and we want you to be there!
Proceeds from this benefit event support repairs to the Warren County Historical & Genealogical Society Museum in Belvidere, ensuring that it can be open during this year's America250 celebration.
The requested donation of $45 per person includes food from Mama's Catering of Mama's Cafe Baci, Hackettstown; drinks; dancing; and music by Moetta, a five-piece jazz combo. With a sound reminiscent of Prohibition-era speakeasies yet firmly rooted on the corner of Rampart and Dumaine, Moetta is a horn-forward NOLA-style trad jazz quintet that aspires to invoke Mardi Gras memories and music from the heart of Harlem.
Period dress welcomed but not required. Enjoy a swank soiree in Rutherfurd Hall, a turn-of-the-20th Century, Tudor-style mansion visited by notables including President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Owned by the Allamuchy Township School District, it is a house museum and cultural center dedicated to providing educational programs, events, and resources that celebrate history, inspire learning and embrace the arts. The mansion is on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. Learn more about Rutherfurd Hall at rutherfurdhall.org.
The Warren County Historical & Genealogical Society, a non-profit organization, is a place where you can get closer to your heritage. Exhibits explore the past as well as providing insights to our present. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum has the largest library of genealogical materials in Warren County. It also hosts tours of local historical sights.
The Museum located at 313 Mansfield St., in the center of Belvidere (county seat for Warren) was erected circa 1848 and purchased by WCHGS from Clara Smith in August 1980 and officially open as a museum in August 1984. Learn more at warrencountynjhistorical.org.
