Overview

Morristown National Historical Park preserves the setting where the Continental Army endured winter quarters, chosen twice by George Washington, sheltering thousands of soldiers through brutal cold and shortages. The Ford Mansion was Washington's headquarters during the harsh winter of 1779-1780, and forested ridges, trails, and museums tell the story of endurance.
