On June 30, the Mahwah Museum, 201 Franklin Turnpike, hosted a large crowd on its final day of the season. Visitors came from as far away as Vancouver to see the Les Paul exhibit and the collection of vintage Les Paul guitars. This marks another very successful year at the Museum, with almost two thousand visitors viewing exhibits on Les Paul, the Civil War, Nike bases, fabric arts and The Donald Cooper Railroad. During the past year the Museum has hosted gallery talks, auctions, lectures, a benefit concert and a Les Paul Birthday Gala.
The Museum will open its doors again on September 7th, 2013, with the new exhibit “Neighborhoods of Mahwah: 1913-2013.” This exhibit will highlight the history, changes and developments of the different areas of Mahwah Township during the last 100 years. “Les Paul in Mahwah: A Tribute” will be downsized and will join the ever popular Donald Cooper Railroad as a permanent exhibit.
The Mahwah Museum is open September through June, weekends and Wednesdays, from 1-5 p.m. Other museum venues include The Old Station Museum and 1929 Erie Caboose, located at 1871 Old Station Lane, which is open to visitors on Sundays, June through October, from 2-4 p.m. Admission is free to Museum members and children.
