Newsletter Gets a Fresh New Look

Our Volunteers

Jennifer Style and her husband Keith bought a 200 year old home on West Oak Street in Basking Ridge about 4 years ago. It was in terrible shape and the needed help getting it into a livable condition. After 6-7 contractors said they would rather just tear it down The Style's finally found one who appreciated the history in the house and after 2 years of painstaking work, they moved in! "We love this town for all it's great character and history and so when The Historical Society needed help with the newsletter, I was happy to volunteer." noted Jennifer.
