Discover Hunterdon County's Hidden Gems: Hunterdon Art Museum, Red Mill Museum Village Offer Joint Ticket Admission Weekend

CLINTON, NJ (Hunterdon County) – The Hunterdon Art Museum and the Red Mill Museum Village are proud to announce a special joint ticketing event, the “Art & Heritage Pass,” taking place on June 8 and 9 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.

Both museums, nestled along the banks of the picturesque Raritan River, share a rich history and vibrant cultural heritage.

Originally constructed as mills in the 19th century, they were lovingly restored and transformed into museums in the 1950s and 60s. Today, they stand as pillars of the community, offering dynamic exhibits, cultural events, and engaging programming for visitors of all ages.

Despite their shared legacy and unique offerings, many locals have yet to explore these cultural treasures. Recognizing this opportunity to showcase Clinton’s hidden gems, museum directors Marjorie Frankel Nathanson (Hunterdon Art Museum) and Gina Sampaio (Red Mill Museum Village) have joined forces to offer a special discounted dual-admission weekend.

For just $15, visitors can purchase online or in person at either museum an “Art & Heritage Pass” granting discounted access to both museums for the entire weekend.

This pass provides an affordable opportunity to explore the diverse exhibits and experiences awaiting at each location. Children under 12 are free. Members of either museum enjoy complimentary admission to the other museum during this weekend.

Visitors to the Hunterdon Art Museum can also engage with ArtZone, a family-friendly space for creating art, and browse a museum lobby shop featuring unique handmade works that reflect the local arts community and the museum’s mission of educating, challenging, and inspiring community through the arts.

At the Red Mill Museum Village, explore beyond the iconic red mill building. The ten-acre site includes a schoolhouse, log cabin, operational blacksmith shop with demonstrations from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. each day, and the Mulligan Quarry, where a Living History Interpreter will be available from 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. each day to share the area’s rich history.

“We’re thrilled to partner with our neighbors at Hunterdon Art Museum to offer this unique opportunity for our community,” said Gina Sampaio. “Together, we invite locals and visitors alike to discover the rich history and vibrant artistry that Clinton has to offer.”

“This joint ticketing event is the perfect chance for those who have yet to experience our museums to step through our doors and immerse themselves in the beauty and heritage of our town,” Nathanson said.
