Along with being a peaceful, yet upscale zip code, Basking Ridge is also home to many notable and historic landmarks. Originally built in 1768 as a dull wooden structure, the Van Dorn Mill was rebuilt in 1843 with the idea of becoming the finest stone structure in all of New Jersey. Using thousands of stones hauled in from local farm hedgerows, builders were paid one dollar a day to help construct the stone mill. Once completed, the materials and labor totaled $5,000 – and an extremely large amount for that time period. Fortunately for the future of the Van Dorn Mill, the cost was easily paid for within the span of one year of production. Another notable place within Basking Ridge is the Presbyterian Church. Built in 1839, the Greek Revival church is listed on the New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places. It is in the Presbyterian Church’s graveyard that many find the Old Oak Tree – where it is believed that George Washington hade picnicked during the Revolutionary War. Designed to function as a prep school for young men, the Brick Academy fueled the education of Basking Ridge’s youth in and effort to prepare them for the College of New Jersey, know more widely known as Princeton. The Brick Academy was originally known as the Basking Ridge Classical School, it later served as a public school, union hall, town hall and now serves as a historic museum. Now, along with its recognition of being a place where you can
find the best in life, Basking Ridge is home to one of the largest
telecommunications corporations in the world, Verizon Wireless.
