Dear fellow traveler,

The cover photo is of a statue depicting Thomas Paine located in Morristown’s Burnham Park and has the famous quote written on December 23, 1776 - “These are times that try men’s souls.” – how true those words are today as we fight an unseen enemy. And like the American patriots before us – we shall one day be victorious!

In that spirit I invite you to come visit and get a dose of inspiration along with some much-needed rest and relaxation with a trip to hip and historic Morris County*.

Inside the guide you will discover enough information to keep you busy for a day or weekend; George Washington was here for two winters! Every season offers something new and unique to explore. In addition, to keep you fed and well rested, our guide directs you to great food and welcoming accommodations for every budget.

Morris County is easy to get to; keep us in mind when you are ready for your next road trip!

Happy travels,

Leslie Bensley, Executive Director

*Please bear in mind that you will need to double-check that your intended destination is up and running again.

Morris County was named after Colonel Lewis Morris,

Governor of New Jersey in 1738-1739,

the year the county was named.

Few places have experienced the kind of boom in

popularity that Morris County has had over the past

few years. People love it – and for good reason.

From arts to farms to business to lifestyle,

Morris County’s 39 towns has something for everyone.

MORRIS COUNTY

at a glance

7morristourism.org

1. Morristown

You might think having Manhattan only 30 miles

away would overshadow an area, but even with

its large commuter culture, Morristown holds its

own. Thousands of people flock to Morristown for

dining, entertainment, shopping, socializing and

enjoying its many arts festivals throughout the year.

In addition to being the county seat, Morristown is

the home of the historic Morristown Green, several

early American historic museums, the Morristown

Medical Center and cultural institutions like the Mayo

Performing Arts Center (MPAC).

2. Morris Township

Morris Township, named for Colonial Governor

Lewis Morris, was founded in 1740. Its history and

development runs the gamut from farming to

wealthy suburbs, within its borders. Many Gilded

Age estates survive as popular destinations such as

the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, Fosterfields Living

Historical Farm and The Morris Museum.

3. Parsippany-Troy Hills

Parsippany-Troy Hills regularly earns a spot on

The Best Places to Live in the United States lists.

Established when it split from Hanover Township

in 1928, its ancient history dates back at least

6,000 years, as evidenced by its petroglyph sites.

Parsippany gets its name from the Lenni Lenape

word parsipanong, which means “the place where

the river winds through the valley.” Here you will find

one of Morris County’s national historic landmark -

The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms.

4. Boonton

The original Village of Boonton (dating back to the

mid-1700s) sits under the Jersey City Reservoir.

Modern-day Boonton began in 1829, during the

construction of the Morris Canal and development

of the New Jersey Iron Company. Boonton served as

a crucial stop on the Underground Railroad and is

home of the world famous Boontonware. While the

vaudeville theaters, historic hotels and trolley cars of

twentieth-century Boonton have now been replaced

with restaurants and high-tech companies, Boonton

still retains all of its quaint charm.

5. Chester, Chester Borough

With its picturesque Main Street and scenic rolling

hills, Chester captures the hearts of many visitors.

Chester and the surrounding Chester Township date

back to 1799. Visitors love its quiet village life and

quaint country charm, which has been preserved

and protected by the Historic Chester Business Chester Borough

Long Valley Schooley’s Mountain River

WaterlooCanal

Association and municipal ordinances that have

dedicated open spaces to prevent any encroaching

suburban sprawl. Chester has over 100 small,

independently owned stores, and offer a variety of

annual events that delight visitors every season.

6. Washington Township and Long Valley

Long Valley, an unincorporated community within

Washington Township, was originally known as

“German Valley” thanks to its original settlers from

Saxony, Germany back in 1707. A group of German

Protestants traveled with their Dutch counterparts

to the New World in search of religious freedom

but opted to forego their original plan to settle in

what is now New York City once they discovered

Washington Township’s stunning farmland. Later

on, Schooley’s Mountain (America’s earliest summer

resort) attracted vacationers for its mineral springs

and iron-rich waters, reputed to heal all types of

ailments.

7. Wharton

Wharton (once called Port Oram) was a stop on

the famous Morris Canal, which stretched from

Phillipsburg to Newark, transporting anthracite

coal from Pennsylvania to the Hudson River. Today,

Wharton is home to Picatinny Arsenal, which has

been an important army research and development

center since 1880. The town’s namesake, industrialist

Joseph Wharton of Philadelphia, founded The

Wharton School of Business at the University of

Pennsylvania.

1. Morris County Tourism Bureau 6 Court Street Morristown was originally settled around 1715, when iron was discovered in surrounding hills. There are 700 buildings downtown listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, the Tourism Bureau offers maps, brochures, coupons, tours, programs and gifts.

2. Morris County Courthouse Court StreetBuilt in 1827, this is the county’s third courthouse, and one of the best examples in New Jersey of a public building in the Federal style. For many years, bells rang from the belfry to signal the start of court and to alert the town in case of fire. The wooden Lady Justice above the front entrance holds a scale to symbolize the fairness of the

judicial system and a sword to represent the protection of individual rights. Note she is not blindfolded. Court Room One has been preserved to look as it did in 1827.

3. First Baptist Church 51 Washington StreetWhile Morristown’s second oldest congregation was established in 1752, this marks the church’s fourth building. Built in 1892, the church was originally located on the Green, where it served as a smallpox hospital.

4. Arnold’s Tavern Plaque 20 North Park PlaceA plaque marks the former site of Arnold’s Tavern, built in 1764. It served as Washington’s headquarters during the winter of 1777. On this spot, George Washington issued his proclamation requiring all people in America to pledge allegiance to the new country.

5. Patriots Memorial Frieze 1 N. Park Place & Speedwell Ave. Twelve medallions along the upper part of the Century 21 Department Store building feature founders and important citizens of Morristown. Five of the twelve medallions depict persons interred in the Presbyterian Church Burying Ground across the street. Among those featured are Reverend Timothy Johnes, Jacob Arnold, Jacob Ford, Jr., Alfred Vail, Silas Condict and Tempe Wick.

6. Morris Frank and “Buddy” Statue Island between N. Park Place and E. Park Place The statue, by famed artist J. Seward Johnson, is of the founder of The Seeing Eye, Morris Frank, and his dog “Buddy”. The Seeing Eye is located in nearby Morris Township and was North America’s first dog guide school, established in 1929. The statue was placed near the Green in 2005.

MORRIS ST

DowntownMorristown


7. Presbyterian Church and Burying Ground 57 East Park PlaceMorristown’s first congregation, founded in 1733, is the final resting place for 138 American Revolution soldiers. Around 1,500 of the cemetery’s 1,700 gravestones date prior to 1850.

8. Morristown Green Park PlaceThe 2.62 acre Green dates back to 1715. It was first used as pastureland before becoming a military parade ground during the American Revolution. The Green is one of only two surviving historic greens in the state.

9. Sansay House 17 Dehart Street PrivateMonsieur Louis Sansay, a Frenchman from Santo Domingo and a local dance teacher, built this house in 1807. From 1872 to 1880, it was the home of General Joseph Warren Revere, a Civil War Brigadier-Commander and Paul Revere’s grandson.

10. General Porter House 1 Farragut Place Private Built between 1880 and 1890 by General Fitz John Porter, the General Porter House is a Victorian with Colonial Revival design and Queen Anne details. Many of the home’s original details have been preserved – like its unusual bay windows facing Macculloch Avenue and stone carriage step.

11. Admiral Rogers House 40 Macculloch AvenueAdmiral C. Raymond Perry Rogers was the superintendent of the U.S.

Naval Academy from 1874 to 1878. He built this Victorian home in the Gothic Revival style in 1852. The house’s wisteria plants were a gift from Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who embarked on a historic 1854 expedition to Japan that opened up trade routes.

12. Macculloch Hall Historical Museum and Gardens45 Macculloch AvenueThis Federal-style brick mansion (built from 1810 to 1819) is the oldest brick structure in the town still on its original foundation. The home’s gardens are the oldest in Morris County – and are possibly the origin of the Jersey tomato. Six generations of the Macculloch family lived in this home.

13. The Kedge 49 Macculloch Avenue PrivateThis brick and shingle home (built by Henry Miller between 1870 and 1880) was originally intended to be a summer cottage for the Macculloch and Miller

families. A “kedge” is a small anchor – a nod to Henry Miller’s career as a U.S. Navy commander.

14. Villa Fontana-Nast House 50 Macculloch Avenue PrivateThe Thomas Nast House was built in 1865 in Second Empire style and later renovated with neo-classical Victorian additions. Famous politican cartoonist Thomas Nast lived here with his family from 1872 to 1902. Nast created the iconic images of Santa Claus and the Republican Elephant, and popularized the Democratic Donkey, Columbia, the Tammany Tiger and Uncle Sam through his artwork.

15. Vail Mansion 110 South StreetTheodore Vail, President of AT&T and the chief architect of the Bell System, was the cousin of Alfred Vail. He commissioned this marble and granite Italian Renaissance building in 1914 for his art collections. In

8

13morristourism.org

1922, the building became Town Hall. Famous for its bronze doors, the Vail Mansion is now home to the Jockey Hollow Bar & Kitchen.

16. St. Peter’s Episcopal Church & Graveyard South and Miller StreetsConstruction on this Gothic Revival style church began in 1897 and was completed 24 years later. Inside, you will find Tiffany glass, a Spanish rood screen and English-made bells. The graveyard has unusual table-top gravestones once serving as picnic tables for visiting relatives.

17. Morristown and Morris Township Library 1 Miller RoadThe Library and Lyceum (opened in 1878) hosted popular speakers like Mark Twain, Henry Ward Beecher and Woodrow Wilson. When a fire destroyed the building in 1914, it was rebuilt in Gothic Revival style to match St. Peter’s Episcopal Church.

18. Wood Farmhouse 83 South StreetPrivateSeveral generations of the prominent James Wood family lived in this late 18th century home. In 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette stayed here while visiting as the “Nation’s Guest.”

19. Dr. Lewis Condict House 51 South Street PrivateWhile living in his 1797 Federal-style home, Dr. Lewis Condict introduced a new smallpox vaccine to the country by inoculating his daughter on the front steps. Dr. Condict served as the first President of the Morris County Medical Society and gave the welcome address to the Marquis de Lafayette during his visit.

13 15

20. Church of the Redeemer 36 South StreetThis Gothic Revival Church (built in 1917) is made up of a Norman Gothic church, a two-story Parish House and a 12-room rectory. William Duer and Alfred Vail served as its first church wardens.

21. The Schuyler-Hamilton House Museum 5 Olyphant Place This 1760 colonial home of Dr. Jabez Campfield, a Revolutionary War surgeon, is brimming with connections to George Washington. Dr. John Cochran, Washington’s personal physician, lived here. Alexander Hamilton, Washington’s aide, courted his future wife when she was a houseguest.

its connections to modern telecommunications.

3. The L’Hommedieu House was relocated from

It served as General Washington’s military headquarters for six months during the winter of 1779-80. Today, visitors can tour the mansion and grounds to view the home’s intricate furnishings and astounding 18th century décor much as it was in Washington’s days.

The Ford Mansion is one of the park’s two original structures. This historic mansion is set on 16 acres of land along with the Washington’s Headquarters Museum.

Washington’s headquarters MuseuMThe winter of 1779-80, the most severe of the century, brought great suffering to the Continental Army in Morristown. General Washington demonstrated his leadership by holding the army together and creating a cohesive, united front. It was one of his greatest triumphs, and history fans can learn all about it at Washington’s Headquarters Museum through an introductory video and four exhibit galleries, including the new interactive “Discover History Center.”

2. Jockey holloW Visitor centerThere are approximately 27 miles of walking trails in beautiful Jockey Hollow. The staffed visitor center has a furnished full-scale soldier hut display, information on the natural aspects of the park, and a large wall mural depicting the 1779-80 encampment.
