Stories

Stories weave the web of history around Morristown together. There are several detailed accounts about individual soldiers and civilians written during the Revolutionary War, as well as the works of scholars over the years to cover that critical period. There are also stories we tell in the present too. How did the park come to be? What influences our view of Morristown? Why should we care about what happened "back then"? The stories collected here may answer questions, as well as raise new ones.
