Our garden is beginning its springtime rebirth. Come see the museum on what is hoped to be a fine spring day. Costumed docents will be available to give tours of the c. 1760 house and tell you the story of the Osborn family, one of the early founding families of Scotch Plains, their 13 children, and the amazing story of how the house came to be known as the “Cannonball House”.

The Museum is located at 1840 Front Street, Scotch Plains, NJ  07076. Admission to the museum is free but donations are always welcome.
