The North Jersey Highlands Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting New Jersey history and the rich local history of the North Jersey Highlands Region. For over 50 years, the Society has published the Highlander, a scholarly journal of regional history, as well as books, pamphlets and maps. We have also funded various historic restoration projects, produced annual conferences, field trips, exhibits and historical reenactments. The Society also operates the gift shop at Ringwood Manor and maintains at Ringwood Manor a historical reference library of some renown.

The public is welcome to attend Historical Society Meetings, held at 8:00 p.m. on the last Wednesday of each month at the Long Pond Ironworks Visitor’s Center, 1334 Greenwood Lake Turnpike, Hewitt, NJ. Educational programs are offered monthly and there is no fee to attend these programs.
