Review:
Morristown National Historical Park was the United States' first National Historical Park at its founding in 1933.
The 1,676-acre park protects a number of sites related to the American Revolutionary War, including General George Washington's Headquarters at Ford Mansion, which is known as the site of the Revolutionary War's "hard winter." Washington's Headquarters Museum showcases three exhibit rooms and showings of the documentary film Morristown: Where America Survived.
Fort Nonsense overlooks Morristown's landscape atop a hilltop overlook, while Jockey Hollow preserves the site of a former Continental Army encampment.
More than 24 miles of hiking trails are also offered, along with the preserved New Jersey Brigade Encampment Site, which was used by large populations of soldiers throughout the winter of 1779-1780.
