THSSH thanks its members and donors for showing through their generosity how much they care about this long-standing historical society. We know you can choose many worthwhile organizations when making a donation or considering membership, and we feel so grateful that you have chosen ours. Because of you, we can continue to provide programs, resources, and support to the people in the communities we serve, and beyond.
Founded in 1928 originally as the Historical Society of Basking Ridge, the mission and name of the society was later changed to The Historical Society of the Somerset Hills, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization including all five communities of the Somerset Hills region: Bedminster Township, Bernards Township, Bernardsville, Far Hills, and Peapack-Gladstone , which are all located in Somerset County, New Jersey.
The Historical Society of the Somerset Hills has no paid staff. By contributing their talents to help with our programs and projects, scores of local volunteers, from high school students to retirees keep THSSH operating. Below is a list of current volunteer opportunities, most of which require only a limited time commitment. Training will be provided!
