Supporting Bernardsville’s history through our MLH keepsake project is growing as we honor the local history of Bernardsville. Here’s your chance, Bernardsville, to show your support for local history. Three Bernardsville icons have been selected, and if interest is strong, we hope to collaborate with the community to expand the collection with additional Bernardsville historic collectibles.

The art renderings will be on the front, with the history on the back. Each collectible is approximately 4″ high by 8-10 inches long and 3/4″ wide, painted on wood.

Support your local history and start a Bernardsville collection of your own. Each piece is made in the USA. The Mr. Local History Project invests all proceeds in expanding the program to offer more keepsakes, as we’ve now grown the village to over 45 keepsakes from across New Jersey.

The Mr. Local History Project (MLH) non-profit volunteer organization has been preserving and promoting local history in the Somerset Hills since the organization was established in 2019. The all volunteer group started a wooden miniature keepsake program to share history, artwork, that now has become part of New Jersey’s local history and help Somerset Hills historic icons grow as part of the statewide New Jersey Historic Village Collection on Facebook.
