MORE BASKING RIDGE, NEW JERSEY HISTORY:

Reasearching for another story, we found this great research from another local history researcher back in 1930... can't get enough of Lord Stirling's estate called "The Buildings" on Building Lane, now Lord Stirling Road, right next to what later became Millridge Swim Club and Reggie's Playland... but this story tells a great story (other great stories we recently posted). Lots of history going on on what we thought was a quiet dirt road, even a murder in 1928.... LOTS OF HISTORY on Building Lane, aka Lord Stirling Road today, MORE that we keep uncovering

MLH has an entire series on the Lord Stirling/William Alexander subject - Check it out at https://mrlocalhistory.org/lord-stirling-series/

PREVIEW STORY FOR OUR FOLLOWERS - Know the term Washington slept here? Jersey shaped the Revolutionary War; the "slept here" was true, but there is another phenom.

Check it out and let us know your thoughts.
