The Rumson Historic Preservation Commission was formed for the purpose of identifying and assisting in the preservation of the many important properties, homes, landmarks and sites in our Borough. In an effort to preserve the special character of our town, our goal is to be a valuable resource for the owners of historic homes and properties, to act in an advisory capacity for property owners going through the application for development process, to educate the public, to give advice to the Borough Council and the Planning and Zoning Boards and to recognize those in our community that embody the spirit of Historic Preservation.
