Morristown National Historical Park protects important sites connected to the American Revolutionary War in Morristown, including the General George Washington's Headquarters at Ford Mansion, the site of the Revolutionary War's infamous "hard winter." The 1,676-acre historical park was the first National Historical Park established in the United States at the time of its founding in 1933. Today, it is home to the Washington's Headquarters Museum, which showcases three exhibit rooms of artifacts connected to the Revolutionary War. Visitors can view daily showings of the documentary Morristown: Where America Survived, which details the site's connection to the war. Nearby, Fort Nonsense overlooks the city's landscape, while Jockey Hollow preserves a former Continental Army encampment.
