The Brick Township Historical Society will reopen its Havens Homestead Museum, located on Herbertsville Road, for the new season April 11.
The museum will be open on “opening day” from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, said Jane Fabach, the group’s press secretary. There will be a special exhibit honoring the “rich cultural heritage of Brick Township’s artists,” which dates back to Clara Stroud Colvin and a meeting of artists in her Herbertsville studio on September 18, 1939 and the founding of the Laurelton Art Society, Fabach said.
The exhibit is entitled “A Celebration of Brick Township,” and it includes beautiful watercolors, pastels and oil paintings by some of the most influential artists of the Jersey Shore.
