The Mr Local History Project Trustees and Volunteers 2021
Late December and early January are great times to reflect on the year passed and stories that presented themselves. The Mr. Local History Project looks back at the top 10 stories uncovered for 2021 based on reviews made by the editorial board. Don’t get us wrong, we love all of the stories that were researched or recommended by our readership. 2021 was also a growing year for the Mr. Local History Project as our trustees expanded along with our coverage.
This year marked a start to stories not only in the Somerset Hills of northern Somerset County, New Jersey, but we now have stories from Westfield, Cranford, Newark, Keyport and are continuing to expand across New Jersey covering local history stories that opens our eyes to the great local history in New Jersey. Here’s to looking back to 2021 and to an even better dive into our collective local history in 2022.
