Basking Ridge Village Walking Tour Raises Scholarship Funds

A GREAT LOCAL TOUR!

Look back at our last tour. What a great day for a walk! Attendees of the sold-out event also helped raise almost $500 for the Mr. Local History High School Scholarship Program, which awards a scholarship to a worthy Ridge High School student.

The tour shares the history of the architecture at specific locations as you walk the streets of historic Basking Ridge. 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.
