Brick Academy, Historic museum in Bernards Township, United States
The Federal-style Brick Academy features three floors dedicated to local history exhibitions, educational programs, and a research library in New Jersey.
The building served as a preparatory school from 1809, educating students who later attended Princeton University before becoming a public institution in 1853.
The Brick Academy graduates went on to hold significant positions, including Samuel Lewis Southard as New Jersey Governor and Theodore Frelinghuysen as Senator.
Located at 15 West Oak Street in Basking Ridge, the museum contains collections of documents, photographs, and artifacts from Somerset County history.
The Historical Society of Somerset Hills maintains the original Federal architecture of 1809 while operating modern educational programs in the building.
