The Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) is thrilled to make the Updike Farmstead its permanent headquarters, beginning in January 2016. Purchased by the Society in 2004, the Farmstead is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and lies within the Princeton Battlefield/Stony Brook Historic District. As the Society departs Bainbridge House, friends and supporters are invited to visit the museum at 158 Nassau Street for a final time before October 4.
Built in 1766, Bainbridge House is one of the area’s finest surviving examples of Georgian architecture, and was the location of the Princeton Public Library from 1910 to 1967. As a proud tenant since 1967, the Society is grateful to Princeton University for having had the opportunity to occupy such an important historic building. Visits are welcome Wednesday through Sunday, from 12 to 4 p.m. $4 Admission.
