This unique stone farmhouse features rare architectural details and enables the telling of an important political story. The house combines German and English architectural elements. Its gable-end chimneys and center-hall plan are English, while its four rare ‘wattle and daub’ decorative ceilings are Germanic. During the American Revolution, its builder, Christoffel Vought and his son John opposed independence and led a group of loyalists from Hunterdon to join the British forces, for which the family farm was confiscated and sold. After the war the Voughts were exiled to Nova Scotia, then repatriated to the Albany area in the 1790s. This home contributes to the complex narrative of the American Revolution in New Jersey by bringing telling the stories of a family who actively resisted independence. The professional restoration of this house as a genuine mid-18th-century artifact began in early 2014. Public archaeology programs have located additional features that shed light on what life was like for the Vought family.

All is Calm : The Christmas Truce of 1914 is being performed by Franklin Theatre Works at South Hunterdon. It is a musical evening recounting the events of Christmas Eve and Day in 1914 when both the German and Allied soldiers decided to call a cease-fire and celebrate Christmas together sharing what little they had with song and fraternity. These men did what the Pope could not do and what the commanders would not do. All is Calm is a tribute to and a celebration of our common humanity. This work is funded in part by the Hunterdon County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Verizon is sponsoring the “Free Tickets to Veterans” program reserving seats at each performance for vets free of charge. Franklin Theatre Works is also running a Gift for a Veteran Drive at the show. Bring a gift and receive a ticket voucher to their next production.

The ArtYard Workshop, at 62A Trenton Avenue, was the original site of ArtYard from its inception until the completion of the main building at 13 Front Street.
From September 2016 until May 2021, this former electronics warehouse served as the testing ground for ArtYard’s identity and vision, hosting art exhibitions, theater, music, poetry, film, newly-scored silent films, chamber operas, jazz improvisation and communal events from memorial services for beloved townspeople to radio plays. There was poetry on-the-spot improvisation, cranky storytelling, picnic dinners, and more. The theater was built by hand of used risers and stacking chairs which were later upgraded to recycled upholstered seats scrounged from a Virginia Tech classroom for forty three cents a piece. There was no plan, only an exuberant series of improvisations that began to slowly make sense over time.
With the completion of the construction of our state-of-the-art facility at 13 Front, the old building has developed into workshop space for the nascent residency program.
