New Westfield Cat’s Meow Collectibles

The Governor of New Jersey’s Historic Village has been working to preserve and promote Westfield, New Jersey’s history with what we call “history with a social twist.” The simple truth is we partnered with the world-famous Cat’s Meow Village to create historical memories of Westfield while adding the history of those icons on the back of each keepsake. The goal is that we hope you showcase your keepsakes, which in turn share the history of these vivid childhood memories, marriage, drinking/eating, and movie-going!

If you have any of these collectibles- send us a picture of you and your keepsakes in front of the real deal!
