Craftsman Farms, located in and owned by the Township of
Parsippany-Troy Hills, is the former home of noted turn-of-the-century
designer Gustav Stickley, a major proponent of the "Arts
and Crafts" home building and furnishing. The log house,
built in 1911, is one of the most significant landmarks of
the American Arts and Crafts movement, and the site, which
consists of 26 acres of the original 650-acre tract, has been
designated a National Historic Landmark. Craftsman Farms is
also an Official Project of Save America's Treasures, a public-private
partnership between the White House Millennium Council and
the National Trust for Historic Preservation dedicated to
the preservation of our nation's irreplaceable historic and
cultural treasures for future generations.
