Located in Morristown National Historical Park, the Ford Mansion and Museum is a classic 18th-century American home built in the Georgian style by Jacob Ford, Jr. Completed in 1774 by the early American industrialist, the mansion was used as the Continental Army's winter encampment of 1779-1780 after Ford died of pneumonia in 1777. Mrs. Jacob Ford and her family generously moved into the home’s kitchen while the soldiers used the mansion and grounds as an encampment. Visitors can explore the mansion and surrounding grounds on guided or self-guided tours.
