Our Fall 2025 cover photo honors the history of the Somerset Hills area of Northern Somerset County, New Jersey, and the iconic Blairsden Mansion & Estate. Over the years, the estate has also been a private residence, an orphanage, and a religious retreat. Put those two together and bring in Weird New Jersey, and you will get horror stories worth sharing at this time of year. Take a look at our latest edition and discover how we can bring you a unique blend of history and social engagement.
