Historic Basking Ridge Village Walking Tour Scholarship Fundraiser

Book Your Spot Today.

A GREAT LOCAL TOUR!

Look back at our last tour. What a great day for a walking tour. Those who attended the sold-out event also helped raise almost $500 for the Mr. Local History High School Scholarship Program, where we will issue a scholarship to a worthy Ridge High School student in June 2021.

The tour tells the history of the architecture at specific locations as you walk the streets of the historic Basking Ridge village. Listen as your costumed tour guide and resident add color to the tour about living in the town. You’ll learn things that you won’t learn anywhere else. The tour is a fun time to get to know Basking Ridge and is suitable for residents and visitors.
