Morristown National Historical Park

This is a wonderful view into life in the winter of 1779-80 and the struggle of the American Revolution. The 50 minute Ford Mansion tour was very well done, historical restored with period furnishings. The National Park Service ranger was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. The exhibits in the Visitor Center are interesting as well; plan to spend an hour or so there. The manuscript gallery was the highlight for me. The National Park Service always does a great job; I highly recommend visiting.

My wife and I took a lovely hike with our dog here. It is beautiful trail (we took the outerloop), well maintained and well marked. There are small creeks and ponds scattered throughout the hike, maps to keep you on the right path, view points with benches. We will definitely be returning again in the future!

Very cool historical place in NJ. We took a free tour of the Ford mansion and got to see where GW himself slept. Amazing to imagine life 300 years ago when there was barely any development here. The story of the soldiers in winter was jarring as well, and the museum did a great job of showing us what it was like. Good for kids.

I love the National Park Service. This little museum is informative and well done. Tours are available as are supporting materials pointing you to the other locations around the county for the historic park like Jockey Hollow and the Ford Mansion.

If you love history this is a must go place. My kids enjoyed seeing history come to life by all the volunteers. I really enjoyed the historical reenactment of Washington's encampment of Morristown during the American Revolutionary War. Plus it is free.
