The Mayor of New Jersey’s Historic Village recently decreed that a new icon be added to the New Jersey Historic Wooden Village Collection in a bold move to expand the only set of New Jersey collectible icons. Introducing the historic Olcott School and historic district in Bernardsville, New Jersey. Supporting Bernardsville’s history via our MLH keepsake collection is growing as we honor Bernardsville’s local history. Here’s your chance, Bernardsville, to show your pride and support for local history.
Pre-Order Your Own 1905 Bernardsville Olcott School Collectible
Bernardsville’s Historic Olcott School wooden collectible is available now for pre-order for delivery sometime in mid/late November 2024. Only a limited number of these collectibles will be produced (under 100), so if you want individual pieces for holiday gift-giving, consider ordering early, as they will sell out and become collectibles. The Olcott School will also be added to the Bernardsville bundle if you’re interested in the four-piece Bernardsville, New Jersey, historic wooden collection. The estimated size of the wooden keepsake will be about 10″ long, 6″ high and 3/4″ thick and made with paint on wood. The history will be printed on the back of the keepsake.

Bernardsville Historic Village Miniature Collectibles
Each piece of our entire New Jersey historic wooden village collection showcases our historical research on the back and a beautiful artist rendering on the front. Each collectible, painted on wood, is approximately 4″ high by 8-10 inches long and 3/4″ wide and is part of a very limited run (often less than 100 total pieces), which is often why they quickly become collectibles. Each piece is handmade in the USA. The Mr. Local History Project sinks all proceeds into growing the program to offer more keepsakes. We’ve now grown the village to over 30 keepsakes.
