Morristown National Historical Park preserves the places where General George Washington and the Continental Army endured the harsh winter of 1779-80, one of the coldest on record. The park’s historic sites offer a powerful window into that pivotal period, showing how resilience, resourcefulness, and community sustained the troops through difficult conditions.
In addition to the encampment grounds, the park maintains a museum and library with collections related to Washington, the Revolutionary War, and broader American history before and after independence was won. Through exhibits, artifacts, and interpretive programs, visitors can explore the human stories behind the struggle for freedom and the landscape that shaped it.
