The Cat's Meow is one of the worlds most iconic collectible series. Mr. Local History started creating the Somerset Hills Historic Village back in 2018. Each year we launch new additions based on community input.
The New Jersey Historic Village keepsake collection is a wood-painted collectible series honoring historic iconic buildings, properties, and fixtures that are part of the historic fabric of New Jersey’s history. Each keepsake was selected based on community feedback and a voting process. We’re excited to see how the public reacts to the next additions to this historic series.” Sign up to receive updates when new pieces become available.
See the list below of the current keepsakes available right now. Remember that some of these have sold out and will not be made again.
The easiest way to get one is to order online via our Etsy Store.
Our online store accepts multiple forms of payment, including credit/debit cards and Paypal. Orders are now being taken online. The collection is the ultimate local personal gift. Great for those moving into the area or for those who’ve left the area. They also make great gifts for those who like to remember the fond memories of the area.
The Cat’s Meow Village is a small company founded in Wooster, Ohio, in 1982 from one simple wooden house Faline cut on her grandfather’s saw in the loft of the hog barn. Thirty-five years later, Jones and her crew continue crafting “little wooden buildings” of local, national, and international landmarks that spark memories and kindle smiles on the faces of “real-life adventurers” like you.
The New Jersey Historical Village was created by Mr. Local History, affiliated with the T3 Consortium, and then licensed to various organizations for fundraising and promotional activities.
