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.

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.

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.
6. Schooleys Mountain County Park

Reviewed By AdventureDann - New Jersey, United States
Took a trip to Schooley’s mountain park for a quick hike and ended up taking a nap on one of the huge boulders scattered close to the falls. Very relaxing clean park with some downsides. Makes sure you bring your hiking shoes there is some difficult terrain at some points. Also the green trail abruptly stops due to storm damage I believe. Don’t pass the fence or else you end up in someone’s property.

COVID-19 has taught me to appreciate all our county parks either small or large and to enjoy the beauty you can find within them. This past weekend Lewis Morris Park partially reopened with restrictions, so when you go out practice safe distancing and wear a mask as we did when walking the trails and enjoy what nature has to offer.
