Part of the Morristown National Historical Park, this recreated campsite was home to the Pennsylvnia troops in the winter of 1779-80.
Reviewed By Jimbo4uClinton_NJ - Easton, United States
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.

We had an amazing time with Pat on this special October tour and learned so much. The house is beautiful inside and out and Pat was a wealth of information. She is so passionate about the home, Victorian mourning traditions, and the stories of the people who lived there. We could have stayed all day and listened to everything she knew!

We go to Mayo 2 or 3 times a year and have always enjoyed the shows. They have a large selection of shows to choose from during the year so there is something that should please everyone. The theater is comfortable with good sound system especially for an older building. Parking is convenient especially if have dinner before a show, you can park next door. There are public lots not far from the theater as well as other lots from which there are shuttles. The last show we saw was Celtic Angels. It was entertaining with 5 women singers with beautiful voices. There was a wonderful fiddle player as well as 5 extradordinary male dancers. Celtic angels similar to Celtic Woman with maybe singing more recent Irish songs intetmixed with some traditional ballads. There was one odd issue is that for a few seconds bright lights from the stage would shine directly into the audience making it difficult to see. Mayo is higher recommended.

Over the years ,I have brought many birds to the Raptor trust,,..and I totally love this place,,,I recently brought a bird that when I turned him in he was already DOA,,, He had a cranial bleed,,..I love all animals minus a few select spiders,,and I try to save everything,,so needless to say..I was really upset when they told me he was deceased,,nothing would have saved this bird,,he had flown into something and had a bump on his head,,..they do wonderous work..and I appreciate them greatly....I made it a point on this particular trip to learn as much as possible how to care for baby birds if I can;t get to the trust,,a worthwhile trip,,

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.

This park holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I would routinely go there when we dated, especially in the fall. Both of our dogs loved walking the Tourne! The Red trail is the longest of the trails, and it intersects with all the other trails. I’ve run into bear on a number of occasions, but since I added a bear bell to my dog/walking stick, I haven’t see any. Black bears are cool to look at, but I rather not bother them. What’s especially nice is the Tourne takes on a new look each season. Extend your walk through Birchwood/Wilcox Park. The Wildflower trail is an easy stroll (no dogs allowed). In spring, summer, and fall, don’t forget your bug spray. Now that we are retired, we walk through the park regularly!

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 had amazing time on our first time at this Sunflower field. It was so beautiful they have a side where you can take pictures and enjoy the beautiful sunflower walk & another side where you can pick your own $2 each steam. Also they have pick your own veggies $6.99 the bag and you pick eggplants, tomatoes & peppers. We were so happy because this farm allowed our Coco Chanel 2 years old Chihuahua to be with us. I highly recommended!
