Morris County is often called the Crossroads of the Revolution, with more Revolutionary War battles and encampments that arose in New Jersey than any other colony — and Morris County hosted many of the central figures from that era and has preserved numerous historic sites where key events unfolded. It will all be the focus of celebratory events throughout 2025 and 2026.
Welcome to Morris County, There Is So Much To Do
We invite you to discover and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of Morris County to the American Revolution, a legacy that helped create the United States.
Morris County is home to Morristown National Historic Park, the nation’s first National Historic Park, where George Washington and his Continental Army wintered twice. Morris County’s historical impact extends far beyond the Revolution, offering a diverse array of sites like Historic Speedwell, where the telegraph was born, and the remarkable Morris Canal. Strategically located between New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, Morris County occupies a pivotal position, making it easily accessible for both regional and national visitors seeking historical and cultural experiences.
