Build Princeton With LEGO: Historical Society's Annual Event Returns

PRINCETON, NJ - The Historical Society of Princeton is returning with their popular Building Princeton event on Sunday, April 27 at the Wojciechowicz Barn (Updike Farmstead, 354 Quaker Road).

Architect Stephen W. Schwartz from Building Blocks Workshops will guide participants as they choose from Princeton's iconic structures—including Nassau Hall, Einstein's house, and Princeton Public Library—to recreate using some of the 100,000+ LEGO blocks available.

Teams will learn architectural principles while constructing scale models that will ultimately be placed on a large community map, creating a unique miniature version of Princeton.

This multi-generational activity welcomes teams of family members, friends, scout groups, and more.

Teams with children under 16 must include one adult. Each participating team will receive "The Princeton Architectural Treasure Hunt Map" to explore the real buildings afterward.

Here are the ticket prices:

• $30 for teams of 2

• $37.50 for teams of 3

• $45 for teams of 4

Space is limited. Attendees need to reserve their spot at www.princetonhistory.org.

The event is sponsored by Adams Rental, McCaffrey's Food Markets, and Studio Hillier.
