Friends of the Red Mill monthly meeting
October 21st: Field Trip to Califon
The Friends of the Red Mill have monthly meetings featuring speakers, presentations and refreshments. They also volunteer at the museum shop, special events and on a wide variety of projects.
Their October meeting is a field trip to the Cabin by the River, commonly known as the Fishing Cabin, along River Road in Califon. With an estimated age surpassing 100 years, the property was acquired by Califon Borough in 2007 as part of the Nellie Hoffman Estate. Following its acquisition, the cabin underwent a restoration process and is currently under the management of the Califon Historical Society.
On Monday October 21st at 10 am, meet at the cabin on River Road, Califon. Afterwards lunch is at one's own expense at Max's on Route 513 in Califon where a long table will be set up for the Friends in the back.
Please RSVP by October 15th by emailing redmillfriends@gmail.com
