Far Hills Fair Grounds

Route 202 and Peapack Road
Far Hills, NJ · Map C

In the late 1880s, realtor E. H. Schley began to transform farm and pastureland into a community of estates that became known as Far Hills. In 1906, E. H. Schley's brother, Grant B. Schley, built stables and a grandstand, and drained, graded, and planted the Far Hills Fair Grounds. Begun as a way of "keeping the boys at home," the Far Hills Athletic Club has served generations of residents.
