Our mantra is simple. Today we coin the phrase and hashtag that “Today is Tomorrow’s History” or #todayistomorrowshistory.

Just wanted to get that out there.

MLH needs help. LOCAL HELP. #Bernardsville was once known as #Vealtown until about 1840. Was Vealtown of family origin, or because of a cattle slaughterhouse in the town? Or is there another reason? https://t.co/4pUBjCbpK9
