Think you know northern New Jersey? Guess again!

Only thirty miles from Manhattan, Morristown and surrounding Morris County couldn't be a more convenient getaway – and when you see the extraordinary range of attractions here for yourself, you may end up wondering why you've never discovered this gem before now!

Morris County's rich historical legacy parallels that of bigger, better-known destinations in New York State and Pennsylvania. Morristown's Town Green, positively postcard-worthy, is just steps away from trendy, up-to-the-minute shops, restaurants, and bars that make the area a nightlife hub.

In short, this is an area where you can experience the best of the old and the new – or, as New Jersey's Star-Ledger put it, Morristown is the place "where history meets hip!"

Morristown was founded by English Presbyterians in 1715 and later played a key role in both the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Careful cultivation of this heritage, as well as some smart growth decisions based around its status as a New Jersey "transit village," combine to give this community its special character. That character was recently affirmed in a major way when the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Morristown one of its "Dozen Distinctive Destinations" in the United States – the only spot in New Jersey to be given that honor!

Home to many a Fortune 500 corporate headquarters, the surrounding county is dotted with charming Main Streets to stroll and abounds with hiking, birding, biking, antiquing, and shopping opportunities - making it a perfect weekend getaway or day trip!
