MLH Mini-Series: The Basking Ridge Rushmore 5 in our Community

UPDATE:
Our researchers have been watching this post carefully and have finally made the decision and create the Basking Ridge Rushmore 5 for five women that made and continue to make Basking Ridge such a great, historic, and beautiful community to live in – Check out the post here.

Recognize the Basking Ridge Ladies Rushmore 5

Okay, so I live in Basking Ridge, which is part of Bernards Township, but we all refer to it as Basking Ridge, right? Now, I believe that history has to be over a hundred years old to be interesting. I love writing about recent events that will become or have become historic over the decades. These stories bring in the social aspects of history in the community and love to capture it when I can which is why I’m so grateful to the Mr. Local History Project for allowing me to write about almost anything I want (yes I have been blocked a few times too, which is a much healthier environment then a bunch of controlling social elites….. but that’s another story.)

What better way to preserve social history than by writing about people who have made Basking Ridge an interesting place to live? So I’ve created a mini-series of what I call the Mr. Local History Basking Ridge Rushmore 5: people I’ve met or learned about over my twenty or so years living in the area. And I can honestly tell you, all of these people have or had character. Some people disagreed with them, and others hated them. But overall, they were undoubtedly worth writing about.

While I had to keep the limit to five since it was to tie in with the Historic Mt. Rushmore Five story we prepared about five historic personalities, that doesn’t mean there weren’t more characters in our collective history. Our researchers are ready…. now it’s your turn to nominate so our researchers can get to work.
