Diary of the Late Republic, #15
As some of you may know, I kinda fell sideways into a project about New Jersey—more specifically, a book about famous Americans (some of native to the Garden State, some not) who had decisive moments in their lives there. As part of the enterprise, I’ve been traveling the state a bit to get snapshots, literal and mental, of these pivotal places in the state.
One of my subjects is Meryl Streep, a true Jersey girl. (I’ve written about her before; she gets a chapter in my book Sensing the Past: Hollywood Stars and Historical Visions.) Streep spent the key years of her childhood in Bernardsville, essentially at the northwestern rim of the New York metropolitan area. I recently drove through town, and though it’s been sixty years since she graduated from high school there, the town’s essential character does not seem to have changed. Then as now, it’s an affluent enclave with a storybook character.

Meryl Streep's teenage home in Bernardsville to hit the market
BERNARDSVILLE – If you ever wanted to buy the teenage home of the 1967 Bernards High School homecoming queen, this could be your chance.
The homecoming queen, who was also a cheerleader and National Honor Society member, went on to be nominated 21 times for Academy Awards, winning three times.
The 21 Old Fort Road house where Meryl Streep spent her teenage years is getting ready to go on the market.
The current homeowners — Beth and Dennis McConnell — have lived there for 32 years.
According to Somerset County land records, they bought the property from James and Molly Langridge in 1989 for $360,000. The Langridges bought the property in 1984 from Roger and Ann Fasting for $244,500. Four years before that, the Fastings acquired the home from Harry Streep Jr., an executive at Merck, and his wife Marry, Meryl's parents.
Last month, Beth McConnell announced on Facebook that they are getting ready to sell the 58-year-old four-bedroom home with an asking price of $949,000.
"Our home is best known as the 'Meryl Streep' home since her parents built the house and Meryl attended school in Bernardsville," Beth McConnell said.
According to mrlocalhistory.org, the Streeps first lived in Basking Ridge before moving t
