First of all, check all the pages on the website for alerts about opening hours, as the main page doesn't always have the correct info. The guided tours of the Ford Mansion go on the hour every hour and are free, but you need timed tickets and the tours do fill up. We got there right after a tour had started and had to get tickets for the next hour, but the museum has so much information and there is so much to see, you can easily fill an hour waiting for the tour. The top floor can take an hour if you watch the video and read all the information and look at the exhibits. The downstairs of the museum could take another hour, as there are so many interactive options and plenty to keep everyone, kids and adults, occupied. It was all beautifully done with a great mix of artifacts, maps, objects, and descriptions. Then, you have an hour-long tour of the Ford Mansion. The docent was very knowledgeable and the tour is really interesting and there is a lot to learn about George Washington's time in Morristown in the winter of 1779-80.

There are so many trails, it's incredible. There are different hikes for different types.
You can learn a lot by just wandering the property or taking the tour road. Going on a weekday there are still people around, but absolutely peaceful and quiet. Pet friendly.

We recently spent a weekend in Morristown in order to see the Morristown National Historical Park (plus a few more sites). Having been born near Morristown and growing up in central NJ (before moving to PA at age 30), a visit to this historic site was long overdue for me—an American history buff!
We arrived just as the museum opened at 10:00am and secured our free tickets to tour the nearby Ford Mansion (see separate review). Since the first house tour wasn’t until 11:00am, we had sufficient time before then to tour the galleries and to view the orientation video shown here (also shown at the Jockey Hollow Visitor’s Center and at their website).
The two galleries on the main floor were very good. “Exploring the Revolution” featured military artifacts and described the activities and challenges associated with a winter encampment such as Morristown. An interactive display I liked was a separate touch screen for each of the 8 years of the War for Independence, which provided information about encampments and battles during that particular year. “Defining American Style” displayed period furniture, decorative items, apparel & accessories typically owned by the “genteel” members of society of the 18th century.
The second floor of the museum contained the Rare Book & Manuscript Gallery, a collection of items donated by Lloyd W. Smith; on display were various historic printed items, i.e., pamphlets, essays, sermons, government papers, discourses, etc.
The Discovery Center on the bottom floor contained nice exhibits about enduring a winter encampment. Youth especially will like the many hands-on and interactive features here.
We spent just over 2 hours at this part of the park before moving on to Jockey Hollow (see separate review); it was time well spent. We came away with a greater appreciation of what the soldiers and officers endured the winter of 1779-80.
Plentiful free onsite parking and restrooms are available here but no café.

We stopped for lunch on our way to Washington's HQ and a friend called for the time of the last tour. The phone message said there were no tours on Wednesday so we took our time and didn't rush. We got there after three to find out that the phone message was in error and we had just missed the Wednesday tour which was at 3 o'clock. The Museum worker refused to let us in on the tour in progress but we decided to try our luck and the tour guide graciously let us in because of the message error. Museum staff need more PR training.
There are some interesting items in the museum such as guns, clothing, artillery and furniture but it definitly needs to be combined with the house tour to make it a worthwhile trip. There is a beautiful statue of George Washington outside. Glad it survived the recent social strife.

I visited the Morristown National Historical Park and Washington Headquarters and Museum in May 2022. Ranger Tom and Ranger Kim were very helpful and knowledgeable. I watched a 15-minute film on the winter of 1779-1780 in Morristown, NJ. Most people know about Valley Forge and the winter that General George Washington and his soldiers spent in 1777-1778 but the winter of 1779-1780 was even more severe and difficult. The museum is excellent and also does a good job of covering the timeline for the entire American Revolutionary War and the key battles. The events before and after the winter of 1779-1780 in Morristown help to put everything in perspective. There is a special exhibit on documents and a nice bookstore and gift shop. If you are interested in history, this is a very worthwhile museum.

Lots to see in this small museum. We found it helpful to start with the introductory video. We visited the museum before and after our ranger-led tour of the next-door Ford Mansion.

The museum is well curated. Many hand-written documents on displayed depicted the history and story behind. Due to COVID-19, computerized devices and some sections were closed or unavailable, but we had a great time taking in what was going on back then. This is where you obtain free tour tickets to Ford Mansion, which is a must.

A historic location in New Jersey that is well worth visiting. The Washington Headquarter Museum has many artifacts on display representing upper class life in 18th century America. There is the original portrait of Gilbert Stuart's portrait of President Washington. This is an excellent experience for preteen and teens to learn about America's fight for independence and the Revolutionary War.

Amazing Amercian history can be found at Morrisotwn. It's simply incredible to walk in these areas knowing who walked before you. The museum is well maintained with a nice little shop. The introducotry video was well done. I enjoyed the short tour loop. Be sure to leave your car and make the short walk up to see the soldier's huts. Our country began with these patriots who suffered so much.

Morristown, New Jersey played a key roll in the Revolutionary War effort and much of that effort is reflected in the Washington Headquarters Museum. The museum is housed in a separate building from the Ford Mansion. The museum's artifacts display the material cultural of 18th century America. Clothing, jewelry, eating utensils, musical instruments, weaponry, muskets and pistols of the time are included in the display. Of significant importance is the original portrait of Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington.
There are various rooms in the museum, one of which is The Lloyd W. Smith Gallery named after the principal private contributor to the museum's collection. Much of the collection here comprises material cultural artifacts.
The military Gallery houses muskets, canons, pistols, maps and portraits.
The room of documents which are representative of those appearing during the Revolutionary era are in my opinion significant. Issues such as British taxation, cartoon illustrations, George Washington portraits including is death bed and early debates about slavery.
Finally, the museum has an auditorium where presentations are given on all aspects of the era and war. A video is on continuous showing called "1782-1789 Democracy.
Due to the Covid=19 epidemic the museum and Ford Mansion have been periodically shutdown so check on the the current status of the museum .

HI,
We are contemplating taking our 13 year old grandson, a soccer player, to the New Visitor Center and house. Based on your experience, and your understanding of soccer players, does this sound like something you would choose to do.
Thanks
Bob

This is a great trip for a 13 year old! Take a tour of both the Mansion and Museum; when I was his age, I liked the Museum best! Make your visit better by listening to one of the Park Rangers, they give lectures on the site, and are very knowledgeable!
After visiting the Mansion and Museum, take a short Drive to Jockey Hollow, where the Revolutionary Soldiers were billeted. Be certain not to miss the Tempe Wick House. Again, be sure to listen to the Ranger's talk.
Have fun in my Hometown,
PastorGene

Is there an entrance fee

The Ford Mansion in Morristown, better known as Washington Headquarters has an entrance fee of $7 pp. if you are age 62 + get yourself a National Parks Pass (still $10 but I heard that fee is going to $80). The Pass is good for life, includes a parking pass, and you can admit an additional 3 people in your group. One thing to look forward to if you're a senior.
At the Ford Mansion you will have a guided tour with a docent and be sure to check out (for free) the museum with many of George's artifacts + a wonderful video of the encampment in Jockey Hollow.
At Jockey Hollow about 4 miles away) you can walk around, hike, check out the soldiers' huts, see the Tempe Wicke house. There is a re-creation of a soldier's hut with an audio presentation in the Visitors' Center. I don't know if there is a fee to see that.
