Lafayette Pop-Up Museum
Step Into History at the Lafayette Pop-Up Museum in Morristown
Celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour with a special historical experience in downtown Morristown. The Lafayette Pop-Up Museum, presented by the Woman’s Club of Morristown, offers visitors an intimate look at rare artifacts, documents, and art that honor the Marquis de Lafayette’s legacy.
Explore Rare Artifacts from Private Collections
This temporary exhibit features items on loan from three respected collectors, offering a glimpse into Lafayette’s enduring impact. From portraits to period pieces, each artifact connects directly to Lafayette’s life, ideals, and deep ties to American history. Guests will see unique items not typically on public display, carefully curated to bring the past vividly to life.
Visit a Historic Setting with Real Significance
The exhibit takes place in the historic c.1797 home of Dr. Lewis Condict, located just off the Morristown Green. Dr. Condict famously welcomed Lafayette to Morristown in 1825 during his Farewell Tour. Walking through the same rooms Lafayette visited adds depth and authenticity to this immersive historical experience.
