Part of the Morristown National Historical Park, this recreated campsite was home to the Pennsylvnia troops in the winter of 1779-80.

There is an abundance of history here, as well as some very well maintained hiking trails. Transport yourself to the revolutionary war period and get a feel for what it may have been like for Washington and the patriots that freed us from England. Look at the encampments to see hoe the troops lived Back then! No internet or GPS.

I discovered this place in 2019 and wanted to go back in the spring, so glad I did! The flowering trees and all the daffodils were beautiful! Definitely a nice place for a walk to quiet place to sit and look at all the beauty.

COVID-19 has taught me to appreciate our county parks more than ever and I don’t take things for granted like I used too. So as the parks are reopening with restrictions enjoy the beauty you can find within them, practice safe distancing and wear a mask as we do when walking the trails while looking at what nature has to offer.

The staff was so warm and welcoming, eager to help. I was surprised how beautiful the store was, with all kinds of goodies, desserts, spices, candles, Jams, hot cider etc. makes for a great gift!!! We were hosting our Operation toys for tots and this farm donated 100 cider donuts, people who attended our event raved on how delicious the donuts were. Be sure to visit.

We took a guided tour and enjoyed everything! We didn't spend much time in the main building, so went back to look at some of the displays. There's too much to read for just a one or two hour visit. You must have a guide to go into the historic house, and the stairways are steep and narrow. Definitely not ADA approved! Lots of original beds, paperwork, kitchen appliances and more. Well worth the time.

First time visit to the Morris Museum. I went to view the current exhibit "Aerosol," an exhibit of graffiti and street art. The exhibit is amazing especially since all of the pieces are originals painted in the museum. I then ventured to the other parts of the museum and was impressed with each exhibit. The Guinness Collection of mechanical music instruments if fascinating with plenty of hands on interactive things to do. I also enjoyed the other current exhibits. Daniel Rosin's PomPom mirror is a cool object with black and white pompom tufts that change colors as you move back and forth in front of it. The Adventures of Baron Von Steubon and Cromwell: A Kinetic Tale by David Bowman is a collection of metal kinetic sculptures that tell a story. Tap on the foot pedals and the sculptures come to life. Everyday People: Mel Leipzig’s Figurative Realism is a gorgeous display of colorful paintings that you just need to stand in front of for a few minutes. Throw in the other exhibits including the model railroad and dinosaurs and there is something for people of all ages. Looking forward to future exhibits.

Alstede Farm is simply amazing! The fields are vast with an assortment of sunflowers, apples,, pumpkins, and other fruits/vegetables. I came to pick apples but left with those and everything else. The farm is huge and you could walk but the wagon ride is way more fun. The fair portion has delicious corn, apple cider, and if your over 21 theres wine tasting. Winning!The store carries a variety of foods like cheeses, coffee, maple syrups, desserts and more. The farm sell their own personal products, which are delicious. All the while there is a live band playing upbeat tunes. Almost forgot to mention the sweet and friendly animals. They come right up to you to say hello and of course are looking for a snack. I truly enjoyed myself ans will definitely go next year, its worth the $25 fee.
