Keepsakes: Treasuring Basking Ridge New Jersey Historic Icons

Nine pieces of custom art on wood honor Bernards Township’s history. Start your collection of these beautiful, limited edition keepsakes.

The Governor of New Jersey’s Historic Village has been working with Bernards Township historians to help preserve and promote the history of Basking Ridge (Bernards Township), New Jersey’s history with what we call “history with a social twist.” We partnered with the world-famous Cat’s Meow Village to create historical memories of Basking Ridge while adding the history of those icons on the back of each keepsake. We hope you showcase your keepsakes, which share the history of these vivid memories!

Bernards Township Limited Edition Keepsake Collection

For the first time ever, there’s a collection of historical icons, properties, and venues that honor Bernards Township’s history. The first reason is to create a beautiful piece of art on a 3/4″ block of wood that you can enjoy in your home. The second reason is to “share history with a social twist,” meaning you will hopefully display these keepsakes in your home or office for others to see. Hence, you’ll become one of our growing local history ambassadors, preserving and promoting local history!
