In the late nineteenth century, when Princeton University—then known as the College of New Jersey—sought to modernize itself as a progressive institution of international stature, it did so in part by adopting a visual language drawn from the past: the Gothic vocabulary of the “ancient universities” of Oxford and Cambridge. Princeton and the Gothic Revival: 1870–1930 explores the Gothic Revival movement in architecture and design across America at the close of the nineteenth century, using Princeton’s campus as a case study and launching point. This exhibition draws from the unique resources of Princeton’s Firestone Library and the University archives, along with the painting and watercolor collections of the Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other institutions, to explore the role Princeton played in the Gothic Revival movement in both architecture and the decorative arts, its motivations, and its meanings in defining a great modern university. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated, scholarly catalogue distributed by the Princeton University Press.

John Constable: Oil Sketches from the Victoria and Albert Museum offers a monographic look at one of the greatest landscape artists of all time. This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of 85 paintings, oil sketches, watercolors, and drawings offers a rare insight into the revolutionary working processes of John Constable (1776–1837), England’s foremost landscape painter, who took his paint box into the countryside, ultimately paving the way for the avant-garde French artists of the 1870s and changing the course of modern art. The Princeton University Art Museum is the first of only two North American venues for this exhibition. Drawn entirely from the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, it is the most ambitious look at Constable’s work to be held in the United States in a generation.

This isn't a "jump out and scare you" experience. This isn't a pure ghost hunt where we walk to random places and tell random sightings without any historical references. This is a Princeton ghost hunt and like everything Princeton, it's one of a kind! We' start with a walk through Princeton University campus where guests use official ghost hunting equipment at an unmarked grave and Revolutionary battlefield. During this portion of the tour, you'll learn how to conduct a ghost hunt and we're pretty convinced, you'll have an experience. (If you doubt campus is haunted .... well, you're crazy. Nearly 10,000 Princeton alumni return to campus every year for reunions. Some are over 100 years old who participate in the P-Rade! If you think they do not make an appointment to return after they pass over .... well, you're crazy! It's not unusual for our guests to get orb shots with faces of what looks like undergraduate students. Several guests have heard the bike bell of Freddy Fox from the Great Class of 1939. Did you know Princeton University PROVED paranormal activity exists? TRUE! We'll break it down on the tour .....) For believers, you'll be shocked what you will feel on a tour. For non-believers, we pepper in plenty of historical information to keep you engaged throughout the hour and half experience. After campus, we head to surrounding historic neighborhoods and squares where unexplained apparitions or paranormal activity have been reported. If you are choosing to bring children, this portion of the tour includes some gruesome stories and photos. At the end of the ghost hunt, we go inside one of America's oldest cemeteries where history buffs take over and escort you to see the gravestones of a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, a United States President, Vice President, Nobel Prize winners and famous inventors have chosen to rest. This cemetery is owned and operated by Nassau Presbyterian Church and just wait until you see if after dark. It's the perfect place to rest in peace.
