The collection serves two purposes:
The first purpose is to create an iconic local image with the history on the back. The second reason is so you can “share history with a social twist,” meaning you will hopefully share this keepsake in your home or office for others to see. Hence, you’ll become one of our growing local history ambassadors, preserving and promoting local history!
The Governor of New Jersey’s Historic Village has been working to preserve and promote the history of Basking Ridge (Bernards Township), New Jersey’s history with what we call “history with a social twist.” The simple truth is we partnered with the world-famous Cat’s Meow Village to create historical memories of Basking Ridge while adding the history of those icons on the back of each keepsake. The goal is that we hope you showcase your keepsakes, which in turn share the history of these vivid childhood memories, marriage, drinking/eating, and movie-going!
