After being closed for months for extensive renovations and complete repainting of the exterior, the City's Drake House Museum officially reopens today.

The house is open as part of the 'Four Centuries in a Weekend' program from Noon to 5 PM today.

A slide show presentation at 2 PM will illustrate the renovation work undertaken.

Programs today are FREE and open to the public.

Funding for the project came from the NJ Historical Commission through a grant administered by the Union County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, the McCutchen Foundation, the Plainfield Foundation, the Union Foundation, the E.J. Grassmann Trust, the Pond Foundation, the New Jersey Cultural Trust Fund, the Plainfield Cultural and Heritage Commission and the City of Plainfield.
