The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms General Information
This 30-acre National Historic Landmark is the centerpiece of Gustav Stickley’s early 20th century country
estate. The Stickley family’s home, known as the Log House, was built in 1911 and is one of the most
significant landmarks of the American Arts and Crafts movement. It has been restored to its 1911
appearance and is operated by the Craftsman Farms Foundation as a historic house museum. Tours of the
Log House are available year round, as well as group tours for clubs, churches, special interested groups,
schools, scouts, etc.
The Museum also offers lectures, workshops, and numerous educational programs, plus two family days
each year. Off-site exhibitions are mounted and exhibition catalogues, which include new scholarship, are
produced annually.
The Museum’s growing collection includes numerous Stickley furnishings, many which are original to the
Log House, plus textiles, pottery, metalwork, and archival materials. In addition to these priceless objects
on view in the Log House, an original Stickley bungalow has been furnished with touchable Arts and Crafts
furnishings. A visit to this bungalow, known as North Cottage, allows visitors the opportunity sit in the
chairs and fully experience Arts and Crafts living. Tours of North Cottage must be booked in advance.
Visitor amenities include the well-stocked Museum Shop, which carries handmade Arts and Crafts style
pottery, tiles, jewelry, as well as books, magazines, and Stickley Museum souvenirs. A guidebook to the
history of the site has been produced and is available on-line and in the Museum Shop. Beverages and
packaged snack food are available for purchase and picnic tables are situated throughout the site.
Museum Admission: $8 Adults, $5 Seniors and Students, $4 Children (up to age 12).
Free for members and children age two and under. The Museum is a member of the national Blue
Star Museum program, and offers free admission to active military personnel and their families
between Memorial day and Labor day each year.

individuals can participate in its programs. Those who require the use of assistive listening devices or other
