Saturday April 25, 2026
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Updike Farmstead, 354 Quaker Road, Princeton
America’s first national tragedy, the death of George Washington, was memorialized in many decorative arts.

Dan Scheid, a prominent local needlework collector, will show numerous examples of these works from the early through mid-19th century that honor our first president and reflect the nation’s sense of loss. $10 per person, includes museum admission.
