Hub Hollow

Please join us for a fun, family-friendly summer’s afternoon performance by local band Hub Hollow.  Drawing on bluegrass, rock, & old time music, Hub Hollow has been described as a new kind of old time music. Their beautifully blended vocals and intricate melodies reflect a life of creating music together.  United in their desire to create hard-hitting, interesting acoustic music, the members of Hub Hollow have been playing together, in different configurations for almost 20 years. Blending rock & bluegrass, old time & blues, members have enjoyed success on both coasts at many notable venues, including both Telluride and Grey Fox music festivals. With a reputation for leaving their audiences wanting more, Hub Hollow will perform in the colorful and elegant gardens at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum.  The gardens were restored in the 1950s by the Garden Club of Morristown.  Visitors will have the opportunity to explore through a variety of summer blooms in the garden and relax on the large lawn during the program. Guests may bring picnics, blankets or chairs and settle back for a late afternoon of great music in a beautiful setting. If you would like to get a taste of Hub Hollow’s other performances visit their website at www.hubhollow.com or find them on My Space.

In the case of inclement weather the program will be moved inside the museum.

Tickets can be purchased on the day and will give guests an opportunity to experience Macculloch Hall before heading out to the garden for the concert.  The museum is open for tours of the home and galleries from 1pm, with the last house tour leaving at 3pm.  Enjoy the current exhibit Coming of Age:  Early American Silversmiths; Masters, Apprentices, Trade Partners and Taste in the upstairs gallery. 

In the Thomas Nast gallery the Museum presents more than fifteen examples of original images from the second half of the nineteenth century with the exhibit The Original Thomas Nast.  A generous loan by a Nast descendant of original artwork has allowed the Museum to showcase a variety of Nast’s works—from an original oil painting to a copper engraving plate.  The Museum will remain open until 4pm when the performance begins.  Admission is $6 Adults; $5 Seniors; Students 12 years and under and museum members are free.
