Step Back in Time With Period Activities at Hetfield House

Events free to visitors on Saturday and Sunday.

The historic Deacon Andrew Hetfield House in Mountainside will have multiple activities for visitors during the Four Centuries in a Weekend event, planned from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

During the weekend, docents will be on hand to discuss the history of the Deacon Andrew Hetfield house as well as the Levi Cory House, which will be moved next to the Hetfield House on Nov. 2.  Many new exhibits have been established at the Hetfield House highlighting the history of Mountainside and the surrounding area.  Tours will be ongoing throughout the weekend.

Visitors are welcome to check out the newly established “Village Shop” featuring crafts, new and vintage everyday and holiday décor items, stationery and ornaments. Proceeds go directly to the move and restoration of the Levi Cory house. In the future, the “Village Shop” will be relocated to the Levi Cory house.
