Morristown National Park
This is where General Washington and his troops encamped during the winter months. The pictures did not load on to the page in the order that I wanted them and I've had difficulty arranging them after they loaded. However, the Park is situated in to several parts. Jockey Hollow is where the troops built their log cabins for the winter. Wick Farm is where some of the officers encamped and then the larger house is where the General and Mrs stayed along with several of their top officers and Aide de Camps like Alexander Hamilton.
The Museum and entrance
The House where General Washington stayed
Museum pieces
Inside the house. None of the pieces are original to Washington's stay. And if I remember, I think we were told these were replica's.
These furnishings represent how it probably looked during Washington's stay. There were over 100 people here in the house at one time. No documentation exists to state which room the General and his Lady resided in though
The structure of the house is still original. If only the walls and beams could talk
Wick Farm
Well and Outhouse
Jockey Hollow. None of these structure are original but replicas
A recent fire pretty much destroyed one of the buildings
