Morristown NHP

Morristown National Historical Park commemorates the sites and stories of the Continental Army's winter encampment at Morristown, New Jersey, in 1779-1780. The park includes three Constitution Island units: Jockey Hollow, Ford Mansion, and New Jersey Brigade Encampment; and three National Historic Landmarks: Washington's Headquarters, Fort Nonsense, and the Ford National Historic Site. Together, these resources embody over 250 years of American history. Visitors can explore reconstructions of the soldiers' huts and learn about the difficult conditions they endured during the coldest winter on record. They can also see where General Washington and his wife Martha stayed at Ford Mansion and visit the Museum of the American Revolution, which tells the story of the Continental Army's struggle for independence. With over 1,600 acres to explore, Morristown National Historical Park is a must-visit for anyone interested in American history.
