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.

On this day in 1781, the Siege of Yorktown came to an end, marking the decisive victory of the American Revolution. 🇺🇸⁠
⁠
American and French forces, led by General George Washington and General Rochambeau, surrounded the British army commanded by General Cornwallis. After weeks of siege, Cornwallis surrendered, bringing an effective close to the war and paving the way for American independence.⁠
⁠
Though the battle was fought in Virginia, its impact was felt across the colonies, including right here in Morris County where soldiers had trained, strategized, and endured long winters. Yorktown was not just a victory on the battlefield, it was the culmination of years of sacrifice by patriots across New Jersey and beyond.⁠
