A treasure trove for antiquers, Lambertville proudly stakes its claim as the "Antiques Capital of New Jersey.” Stroll through town for some early holiday shopping or find the perfect pieces to add a touch of vintage charm to your home. Start your hunt at the Antiques Center at the People’s Store, and be sure to stop by the Golden Nugget Antique Flea Market and A Touch of the Past Antiques.
Set the Stage
Enjoy captivating live performances at Lambertville’s Music Mountain Theatre. This big-hearted local theater is known for its high-quality theatrical productions and its community-centered mission to inspire an appreciation for the arts. See their website for this year's exciting mainstage lineup.
Raise a Glass
Enjoy divine local wines at the award-winning Tomasello Winery the only fourth-generation, family-owned winery in the state. Or stop in The Lambertville Station Wine Cellar to admire the original 1800s beam work and sip from your choice of more than 50 boutique wines at this charmingly restored 19th-century train station.
Embrace an Eventful Season
When the air is crisp and the leaves are falling, it’s time to rake in the fall fun. From live music to haunted trails, discover the community events taking place in Lambertville and the surrounding Central Jersey region. Don’t miss the NJ Sheep and Fiber Festival, featuring sheep shows and herding dog demos. This local Lambertville tradition is the perfect addition to your lineup of fall festivals.
Dine Along the Delaware
This riverside town dishes out bite after bite of culinary wonders. Enjoy Mexican and Peruvian favorites at El Tule, an innovative take on American comfort food at Anton’s at the Swan and seasonal, farm-to-table cuisine at D’floret.
Go Leaf Peeping
View the vibrant hues of fall foliage as you stroll, bike or hike the serene historic towpath that hugs the Delaware Canal and stretches from Trenton to New Brunswick. A part of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, it’s an excellent place to go horseback riding too. Cross the bridge, and voila! You’re in New Hope, PA.
Try These Pies
Pies are a hallmark of fall, but Peace Pie’s Lambertville location offers a one-of-a-kind twist to this classic after-feast dessert. The company’s decadent ice cream sandwiches feature a layer of pie filling that has guests coming back for more. Opt for their festive pumpkin and pecan flavors to celebrate the season.
Get Artsy
Fall colors inspiring your inner artist? Discover Pennsylvania Impressionist and Modernist paintings at Jim’s of Lambertville, paintings and bronze sculpture at Highlands Art Gallery and rotating featured artists at Artist’s Gallery. Then shop art and handmade wares at A Mano Galleries or explore original works by Pop Artist Perry Milou at Milou Gallery, Michael Fratrich at Ten One Gallery, and Gordon Haas at Haas Gallery.
Step Back in Time
Discover Hunterdon County’s agricultural heritage with a tour of Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead Museum, a restored farming village dating back to 1711. Be sure to call ahead to plan your visit, as this site is only open for special events or by appointment. Another historical Lambertville landmark, the Marshall House Museum, is also open by appointment and on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. through the end of October. Here, at the current headquarters of the Lambertville Historical Society, you can view memorabilia from Lambertville’s industrial days and explore the boyhood home of James Wilson Marshall, who discovered gold in California in 1848.
