Updike Farmstead is a magical place! I had my wedding ceremony and reception there in September 2019. Leanne and the folks at the Princeton Historical Society were a pleasure to work with. Leanne was attentive and very helpful through the entire wedding planning process - she was a knowledgeable resource for all minutia I had never thought of. The venue itself is lovely with a recently renovated barn that is rustic and cozy. The property is truly a treasure nestled within Princeton. The museum is also very cool and our guests had fun walking through it!
We maintain this property to make it nice for yall thanks very much
I took a hike over to the farmstead from Princeton battlefield and walked around the farm. A docent gave me an enlightening history of the place. Updike is well worth a visit for the history buff.
Well worth the visit. A crucible of American Independence history
So actually didnt go into the house or any of the buildings. I was driving along the edge of the property and stopped in the evening to watch fireflies. It was awesome!
The Updike Farmstead houses a small self-guided museum maintained by the Historical Society of Princeton. It is filled with older b&w photos of Princeton life, some local artwork and, at the time of my visit, an exhibit on Albert Einstein and John van Neumann. Its $4 and worth your time if youre in the area.
Nice place & people
I had my wedding here - beautiful venue and backdrop. The event coordinator is excellent to work with - friendly, flexible, professional and responsive. Unfortunately, in addition to the rental fee, there are additional fees involved, which can make this a very pricey venue. They also only use one vendor for tent rentals (if you need a tent), which just so happens to be the most expensive tent rental company in NJ. Overall, I would recommend this venue, but it will cost you!
Very informative with period dressing by the volunteers...
Great historical area and princeton preservation museum
If youre interested in history, and the origin of early settlers - a must see for a quiet, contemplative visit.
Couldnt have been a more beautiful place for my sisters wedding
This is a good location but this location needs an emergency entrance and exit for when Quaker Road is closed.
