The Historical Society of Princeton’s Updike Farmstead is set to be open for visitors the first Saturday of each month.

From 12 to 4 p.m., visitors can picnic, photography the historic site, stroll through the herb and vegetable garden, and browse the museum galleries in the restored farmhouse.

The society is set to offer a walking tour of historic Stony Brook 1 p.m June 7 and July 5. Following a portion of the trail George Washington took from Trenton to the Battlefield, the two-mile round trip tour includes stops at the Stony Brook Meeting House and cemetery.

The tour is included with $4 admission to the museum, and is free for Historical Society Members.

Additionally, the society is collecting non-perishable food items, toiletries, linens and household items for HomeFront, which works to break the cycle of poverty and end homelessness in central New Jersey. Collections are scheduled for every First Saturday 12 to 2 p.m. at Updike Farmstead.

Updike Farmstead is located at 354 Quaker Road, Princeton.

Founded in 1938, HSP is a museum and research center dedicated to interpreting the history of Princeton. Home to a vast collection of artifacts, manuscripts and photographs, HSP offers a wide array of exhibitions, lectures and public programs each year to schools, adults and families at its two locations, Bainbridge House and the Updike Farmstead.
