The February issue of Inside the Brick Academy, THSSH’s official newsletter, was mailed to members last week. In addition to the annual report covering 2025, the issue contains new research that’s worth a look. On Page 5, W. Barry Thomson writes about Elias Boudinot, a founding father, who bought a farm in Basking Ridge (now Ross Farm) during the American Revolution. What most people don’t know was that Elias’s great niece, Jane Boudinot was editor of Elias’s papers and lived in Bernardsville where her cottage still stands.
On Page 3, a feature article by Cynthia Crosson profiles the McDonald family of Bedminster during the Revolution. The February issue also brings readers up to date with new members, museum acquisitions, and our successful “Save the Flag” campaign.
