Make a Donation – Get a Historic Map as our Gift

Make a Tax-Deductible Donation – Get a Frameable Map

Finding New Ways to Share Local History.
We call it “Maps for a Cause,” supporting Our Ridge and Bernards High Scholarship Funds.

The Mr. Local History Project continues its mission to get history in the hands and on the walls of our residents. So we have an offer for everyone. You send us a tax-deductible donation, and we’ll send you a custom-created historic rendering of an iconic 1873 map.



We rely on donations to support our annual high school scholarship program, so we thought, why not offer an excellent gift for those who support our scholarship program with a tax-deductible donation.

Here’s Where Your Donations Make a Difference



Please just remember that postage and packaging will cost us about so please keep that in mind when making your donation.

Perfect for Framing

The 11″ x 14″ map is perfect for framing and comes on slightly heavy, sepia-toned paper, which will be sent in a tube. In your donation, just put which map you’d like. And thank you all again for supporting the Mr. Local History Project. Here’s the one I made:

Remember local history and support your local history through a worthy High School scholarship.
Each map is 11 x 14 and suitable for framing.

Special Thanks

A special thank you goes out to Rich Steinberg, owner of Bernardsville Print Center, for supporting our efforts. If you ever need printing, please visit Rich and his great group of workers.
