The museum will be open for tours of the main floor, only. Come and see the new displays for June!

Entrance(s) are along the boardwalk.

  • Main entrance has one step up and is closer to Belvidere Ave.
  • Our ADA entrance (no steps) is the last door on the boardwalk. Please knock on the door and our greeter will let you inside. 

Parking on site is limited. If all spaces are filled, please park in town and walk over to the museum.

Our Friends of Shippen accept donations from visitors at the end of the tours. All monies are used for the museum.

Shippen Talks

Take a break from the summer heat and cool off with an icy topic! Discover how the last Ice Age shaped Warren County’s geography and influenced its history.

Shippen Talks speaker, Henry Skirbst, will explore the significant physical and cultural mark that the last Ice Age has made on our area—from the Lenape life to the workings of the Oxford Furnace and the building of major baseball stadiums. You’ll be amazed by the impact that “Our Icy Past” has had on our nation’s history and future.

Henry's book, Our Icy Past, is available for purchase at Lulu.com.

The Shippen Talks series is held in our lower dining room off of our east-facing porch. There are a few steps to climb to get to the top of the porch. Enter through the door. After 2pm, please use caution in opening as the presentation will be ongoing.

No food or drink are permitted in the building.

See our programming page for more information regarding parking, accessibility, events and more!
