The Brick Academy, a Federal-style brick building, was constructed in 1809. It was built to accommodate the Basking Ridge Classical School, located in Bernards Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. This historical building stands as a testament to the educational history of the region.
Since 1976, the Brick Academy has been leased to The Historical Society of the Somerset Hills. The society uses the historic building as its headquarters and for public meetings. It also operates a museum, a one-room schoolhouse for local history, and a research room within the building. This makes the Brick Academy a hub for local history and culture.
The Brick Academy was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 21, 1976. This recognition was due to its significant contributions to education, philosophy, and religion. This designation underscores the importance of the Brick Academy in the historical and cultural landscape of the United States.
