UNION –On Saturday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 20 from noon to 5 p.m., the Caldwell Parsonage located at 909 Caldwell Ave., Union, will serve as one of the historic sites participating in Union County’s annual Four Centuries in a Weekend.
The museum is maintained by the Union Township Historical Society, a non-profit organization, and is a part of the Crossroads of the Revolution National Heritage Area. Scenes commemorating the upcoming 350th anniversary of Elizabethtown and New Jersey will be performed at 1:30 p.m. on both days.
Docents will offer on-going tours of the 18th century house and barn, including new exhibits in both buildings; souvenirs and refreshments will be available. Admission is free. Donations are tax deductible. For more information, call Barbara La Mort at 908-687-0048.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m. and, again, from 8 to 9 p.m., NJ Paranormal will present the results of its investigation that it conducted at the Parsonage and barn on July 13. To purchase tickets at $10 each, call 908-591-9161. Leave a message—including your phone number—and your call will be returned promptly.
During each session, the NJ Paranormal staff will:
• explain how a paranormal investigation is conducted,
• demonstrate some of the equipment used during an investigation,
• show video evidence from the Parsonage and barn investigation and their other investigations,
• lead a tour through the buildings, during which visitors will be allowed to take pictures with their own digital cameras or cell phones to potentially capture any orbs, and
• conduct mock electronic voice phenomena sessions, during which visitors may use their own recording devices or record the sessions on their phones.
