Gustav Stickley: Craftsman Farms

Gustav Stickley founded Craftsman Farms in 1908 to be a farm and school for the Arts and Crafts Movement in New Jersey. Today, it houses the Stickley Museum. The t-shaped Main House was originally intended to be a gathering place for farm workers and students, and Stickley and his family were meant to build an additional house further up the hill. When the school’s opening was delayed, however, Stickley converted the Main House into a home for him and his family. Stickley’s signature style shows through here, with an emphasis on showcasing raw materials and craftsman’s skill.
