Morristown, NJ - Morristown National Historical Park (NHP) is pleased to announce that it has commenced the redesign of its Washington's Headquarters Museum sales area.

Morristown National Historical Park preserves, protects, and commemorates the landscapes, structures, features, and museum collections of the Continental Army winter encampments, the headquarters of General George Washington, and related Revolutionary War sites at Morristown, New Jersey, for the benefit and inspiration of the public. The park interprets the history and subsequent commemoration of these encampments and the extraordinary fortitude of the officers and enlisted men under Washington's leadership. Morristown NHP also represents a continuum of our nation's efforts to protect our common heritage: as the very first "national historical park", the park was also established to commemorate, preserve, and memorialize American history and heritage.
