So this historic house has been on my list of places to visit. Kerry, the intern, was my tour guide. He did such a good job of showing me around.

Was part of a volunteer crew laying a paver sidewalk out front. I and Steve, a member of the…read morepreservation group were the last two still working, late in the day. I heard a voice call out Steve! Looking around, not a living soul on the street, no passing cars, no one inside the Proprietary House. I looked over at Steve and he said, "You heard that, didn't you?" Apparently, one of the spirits at the house often calls to him when it's quit and few are around.

Cute little museum for kids! My daughter (15 months) really enjoyed interacting with the various…read moreexhibits. For $15 I think it is an affordable excursion, there are a few rooms to do crafts/color and four open exhibits to play and learn in. The staff was kind and the museum was relatively clean for what it's worth. The one thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was the "nursing room" aka the bathroom. There is a pink plastic dirty chair in the corner of the bathroom and they call that a "nursing room". For a place geared towards children this is disheartening to see. They should either have an actual room, separate from the bathroom, or no dedicated space at all.

Cute children's museum with varying exhibits great for younger children. Great little stop to spend…read more2 hours indoors. Pros: - My daughter loved the Arts & Crafts, Pirate Ship Playground, Space Floor, Make-Your-Avatar and Horseshoe Crabstations. - Affordable at $14 per person. Cons: - No Wi-Fi, most of the space has little to no T-Mobile Data. My husband paid to work inside the Cafe but left because there was no WiFi. When I asked for a refund the receptionist gave me a hard time :( - Gift Shop and Cafe are basic/minimal and could be a LOT better - The Bias exhibit, which took up a lot of space, was boring and un-engaging - The fish tank was dirty and smelly, felt bad for the fish - Overall the decor and finishes feel outdated, could use a technology update!

This annual fair is for the whole family, yet it must grow and get larger to become better. The entertainment and the food vendors were very good but the other non-food displays were lackluster. The were a few children's workshops and play areas and one could use a paddle boat to navigate the lake under adult supervision. Parking is a problem, but shuttles tried to mitigate it. The area is very pretty in scenic Freehold.

By the time you read this review, the fest will possibly be over. You don't have to go to Greece to experience their culture, listen to their music and visit their shops. It was all right here. I had a pleasant day enjoying all this heritage packed in a few hours. There are rides and games for all the children. I even went to a cooking demonstration and got to eat five samples. Excellent & fresh. Authentic Greek meals sold for $12 and up. Greek beer sold for $4. Plenty of parking on campus and when that got filled there was a 5 min shuttle running throughout the day and night. It was all about being Greek for a day!!!

The school house is a good example of how kids in the past learned together among the farm families. Maps are available as well as a library for research. The curator kate is very helpful and makes the tour very engaging and fun. Worth the time that I stopped by and is a local jewel of Old Bridge. Worth the trip!
