Basking Ridge, New Jersey

Basking Ridge is a home of the  600 year old oak tree, the White Oak, perhaps the oldest white oak in the world. The tree is located on the historic graveyard of the Presbyterian church. Another Basking Ridge attraction is the Van Dorn Mill which was built in 1768. To build the mill thousands of stones were hauled from the nearby farms.The town’s center is full of shops and offices housed in 18th and 19th century buildings.There are two historic districts: Liberty Corner, which was a summer resort colony, and Franlin Corners, where town’s earliest farmers and millers lived and worked.
