Cranford is a former summer get-away town for sweltering wealthy New Yorkers at the end of 19th Century. It is a quaint railroad town with Victorian houses, brick sidewalks, period street lights, historic buildings, wonderful parks, and a meandering river. You will find artists working throughout Cranford, painting our river, parks and historic sites. Become part of this great event, visit the artists painting in the field, and wander through downtown Cranford. Cranford is located just 30 minutes south of NYC by train or bus and is easy to get to from the Garden State Parkway or the NJ Turnpike.
