SUMMARY:Homeowner's Guide to Historic Preservation Materials – HPC Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be designed to educate historic preservation commissioners and homeowners on the proper care\, maintenance\, and repair of historic homes using preservation-appropriate materials and techniques. Participants will learn how to identify original building elements and select materials that match the character and integrity of their homes. Key topics will include wood repair and window restoration\, masonry care and repointing with historically appropriate mortar\, roofing material selection\, and the use of breathable paints and finishes. The program will emphasize the importance of repair over replacement and will guide attendees in recognizing the long-term value of preserving original materials. Case studies\, and resource handouts will provide practical tools for homeowners and historic preservation commissioners to make informed decisions about selecting appropriate materials for general routine maintenance and larger restoration projects. \nThe program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and a tour of 1713 East Jersey Cottage This program is being presented in partnership with the Cranbury Historical & Preservation Society\, Cranbury Museum\, and Middlesex County.  \nThe program is sponsored by the generosity of the Middlesex County Division of History & Historic Preservation. \nAbout the Cranbury Museum \nThe Cranbury Museum\, located at 4 Park Place East in Cranbury\, New Jersey\, offers visitors a glimpse into the town’s rich history through its well-preserved 19th-century home and local artifacts. Originally built in 1834 by Dr. Garret P. Voorhees\, the house underwent several expansions before being transformed into a museum by the Cranbury Historical & Preservation Society in 1972. The museum features original architectural elements like wide pine floors\, a cooking fireplace\, and wavy glass window panes. Furnished largely with donations from local families\, the museum also includes special exhibit spaces\, historic quilts\, farm tools\, Lenape artifacts\, and archaeological finds. Visitors can also enjoy the surrounding gardens\, including the lovingly maintained Sara’s Garden. The museum is open Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and highlights the legacy of Cranbury’s early residents. \nGuest Speaker: Margaret M.
