I checked this place out because of a recent Civil War reenactment event, and I was incredibly…read moreimpressed. It could have been an all day event and I wish I had come earlier because I missed some things like the weapons demonstration. Aside from the regular buildings, there was a camp set up with soldiers, nurses, doctors, cooks, and other professionals that would have been part of a civil war brigade. The reenactors were extremely knowledge and informative with various props and photos from the era. We did get sucked into the singing presentations at the tavern featuring the Libby Prison Band and Matthew Dodd singing period stories and telling comical tales. They alternated presenting on the hour with new songs each hour. For a free presentation, it was thorough, entertaining, and thoughtful. There was plenty of parking and a small gift shop (not too many site specific souvenirs though). I will keep an eye on the calendar and return for future events.

The quality of the performances is not quite at the Broadway level, but the prices are good and the theatre is quite intimate. Snacks during intermission are only $1, which can't be beat. And they have a nice selection of food and drink. Parking is not easy, but it ends up manageable. I highly recommend becoming a member of the theatre, as the yearly membership price is comparable to the cost of one ticket. There are many opportunities for volunteers to usher or help out in other ways. There is a handicapped bathroom on the main floor, but it seems that it would be difficult to maneuver a wheelchair or walker in the tiny aisles.

Wonderful setting under several trees with shade off & on throughout the day. The small bandstand area had a concrete dance floor - you're able to be up close to the bands, or you can see/hear everything even if you up the hill by the building, further away from the bandstand. Clean bathrooms and ample garbages all over the place. They seem to be great event organizers here - we'll definitely be back.

I really enjoyed attending the AID For QUAID yearly fundraiser. It's very well planned with lots of food, a pig roast, beer and music. They ask for a one time donation of $20 and everything is included. There's a 50/50 and raffles to go along with it. The proceeds go to help a local young man who is paralyzed from the neck down. His name is Quaid Mobus. He is a very kind and humble young man and this was the 6 th year having this event. The members at the Elks do a great job of planning this event. This year instead of having multiple bands they were able to get my favorite band CC Coletti. CC Coletti was the backup singer for Meatloaf for many years and her lead guitarist Anthony Krizan was with the Spin Doctors Band. If you love Rock n Roll then you must see this band. They played the entire day and really made this event special. The Watchung/Warren Elks have Thanksgiving Parties, Christmas Parties, Valentine's Day Parties, St Patrick's Day Parties, Labor Day Parties and so on. They raise money for children's causes too. This is a great organization to get involved in and it's very community oriented. The Watchung/ Warren Elks can also be rented out for the day for private parties, there is a fee. You would have to contact the office for further details. I look forward to attending my next event.

Just like a fellow yelper Lauren T. said here, Indiana Jones must have an office here. The place has a couple of exhibits: Museum exhibits include a wide variety of anthropological, geological and natural history of different specimens of animals and humans. Some of the highlights of the museum collection that I remember was: A dinosaur trackway from Towaco, NJ, with a model of Grallator, the small carnivorous dinosaur. My favorite was the big mastodon from Salem County, NJ. this was found in 1869. The skeleton was mounted in 1896 and remounted in 1932. Pretty big elephant if you tell me! An Egyptian mummy. This 2,400 year old mummy was brought to Rutgers by a missionary of the Dutch Reformed Church. This was awesome! Mineral exhibits featuring the zeolite minerals of Paterson, NJ, and the zinc minerals of Franklin, NJ. Oh yeah they also do birthday parties here for kids. They do three Saturdays a month. Kids get to learn about historical remains! And I hear they get goodie bags at the end of the party. Check this place out. You may actually enjoy it.
