Built at the beginning of the 19th Century, Fair Lawn's Cadmus House Museum held an open house for the public on Sunday. A small group of locals toured the four-room Dutch style home, which was moved to its present location adjacent to the Radburn Train Station in the mid-1980s.

The museum's four rooms offer a window into Fair Lawn's agrarian roots and early days as a manufacturing and commercial hub. Photos from "lost Fair Lawn" join artifacts from the lives of early settlers through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One room pays special homage to Fair Lawn's finest and bravest.

Cadmus House is open on the third Sunday of each month from May to October. For more information, visit www.cadmushouse.org.
