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 support for local history. Three Bernardsville icons have been selected, and if interest is strong, we hope to work with the community to grow the collection with more Bernardsville historic collectibles.
We start with a little video about three limited-edition wooden keepsakes honoring historic icons in Bernardsville, New Jersey. Here’s a news update: The New Jersey Historic Wooden Village Collection is adding Bernardsville’s historic 1905 Olcott School.

All proceeds go towards expanding the program to broaden stories about local history.
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.
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 Mr. Local History Project (MLH) non-profit volunteer organization has been preserving and promoting local history in the Somerset Hills since the organization was established in 2019. The all-volunteer group started a wooden miniature keepsake program to share history and artwork that now has become part of New Jersey’s local history and help Somerset Hills historic icons grow as part of the statewide New Jersey Historic Village Collection on Facebook.
