Visit Morris County

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is located in Morristown, NJ.  Morristown was first settled by Europeans in the 18th century, and has a long and rich cultural history.  There are many local historical sites and museums.

Morristown has been called "the military capital of the American Revolution" because of its strategic role in the war for independence from Great Britain. Today this history is visible in a variety of locations throughout the town that collectively make up Morristown National Historical Park.

According to British colonial records, the first permanent European settlement at Morristown occurred in 1715, when a settlement was founded as New Hanover by migrants from New York and Connecticut. The county, and ultimately Morristown itself, was named for the popular Governor of the Province, Lewis Morris, who championed benefits for the colonists.
