Experience everyday American history where it happened.
Welcome to Macculloch Hall Historical Museum
Morristown's Community Museum
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum
Newly arrived British immigrants George and Louisa Macculloch built Macculloch Hall in 1810. They expanded their Federal-style mansion in 1812 and 1819, tripling its size, as their family's prominence in local, state, and national affairs grew. Come explore the largest collection of original work of political cartoonist Thomas Nast (1840-1902), art, and American history where it happened.
