“Out of adversity comes opportunity” is the genesis for the Mr. Local History Project. After being a non-paid volunteer for over a decade, the Mr. Local History project was born. Started by Basking Ridge resident Brooks Betz, we’re dedicated to providing all kinds of local research and stories from the area we call home. The project is excited to bring a group of locals together dedicated to “preserving and promoting local history. The project starts with New Jersey in the Somerset Hills” with interesting articles, photos, games, contests and more. The Somerset Hills is in northern Somerset County and includes Bedminster, Bernards Twp., Bernardsville, Far Hills, Peapack, and Gladstone.
Non- Profit on a Mission
Exclusive Keepsakes – Local Fundraising
The Mr Local History Project is now the exclusive seller of the Somerset Hills Historic Cat’s Meow Village, a partnership with the globally known wooden collectibles company Cat’s Meow . EVERY PENNY we raise from these collectibles goes back into the funding for the next collectible and other projects (like our coloring book and oak tree book). Please consider supporting by becoming a resident of this great historic village.
Enjoy.
