Life After George: Morristown After the Revolution

Morristown may be famous because “Washington slept here,” but history didn’t come to a halt there when he left town in 1780. “Life After George: Morristown After the Revolution,” examines the history that continued to be made after that date through the early 20th century in Morristown and the surrounding area.
The exhibit will introduce visitors to the significant events that occurred in Morristown in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, such as the invention of the telegraph and the growth of the town from a sleepy farming community to a major population and commercial center to the “town of millionaires” in the Gilded Age. Also highlighted will be Morristown’s non-Revolutionary historic sites, including Macculloch Hall, Historic Speedwell, Fosterfields, and Acorn Hall itself.
Acorn Hall, the headquarters of the Morris County Historical Society, is an 1853 house remodeled into the Italianate Villa style in 1860. It is open to the public on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and…
