  • Somerset County’s Weekend Journey Through the Past at the Ross Farm

    The Ross Farm 135 N. Maple Ave., Basking Ridge, NJ

    We’re proud to once again participate in Somerset County’s Weekend Journey Through the Past - now celebrating its 20th year! This beloved annual event invites visitors of all ages to explore the rich history of our region by touring 34 historic sites across the county, all open specially for this weekend of discovery. Join us at the Ross Farm in Basking Ridge as we open our doors and share the stories that make this place so special. Located on land once owned by Elias Boudinot - President of the Continental Congress and a key figure in our nation’s founding - the Ross Farm offers a glimpse into Revolutionary-era life alongside the legacy of the Ross family, the property’s most recent residents. Activities include live music, a 15-minute play about Elias Boudinot, lectures on the history of the Old Oak Tree in Basking Ridge, site tours, scavenger hunts, kite flying, and opportunities to learn about the evolution of this beautiful property - from its 18th-century roots to its role today as a hub for music, history, and giving. We love being part of this county-wide celebration of history and look forward to welcoming you to the Ross Farm during this milestone […]

    HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF, the musical project of songwriter Alynda Segarra, brings their acclaimed live performance to the Ross Farm for a special outdoor concert on Saturday, June 20. Born in the Bronx and later based in New Orleans, Segarra has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary folk and Americana. Their work blends elements of folk, indie rock, and roots music with deeply personal songwriting and expansive storytelling. HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF’s latest release, The Past Is Still Alive, has been widely praised as a powerful and singular work, exploring themes of identity, memory, loss, and survival.
