We love to bring the grandkids. The acting is great and they never disappoint. You can tell everyone puts their heart into each play including the stagehands. It's a nice little small theater with popcorn. after each show we are allowed to shake hands with all the actors.

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.

I discovered this place in 2019 and wanted to go back in the spring, so glad I did! The flowering trees and all the daffodils were beautiful! Definitely a nice place for a walk to quiet place to sit and look at all the beauty.

At first we thought it was an old church, but it was a former library. We visited on a bitterly cold day in January and had the museum all to ourselves. The stained glass windows are a treat themselves. Be sure to read the inspirational quotes that each window has. Allow yourself about an hour or so to see and read everything on exhibit. Madison is a nice town that has a main street with lots of shops and restaurants so you can easily make an afternoon of it.

This park was hit hard by Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and has long since been forgotten by the State of NJ. Though some reviews mention the neglect (picnic areas) as a negative thing, I find it very uplifting to see nature reclaim what it owned in the first place. The trails are quite short for novice hikers and the red trail which is the most difficult (quite easy for me) is average for those looking for more of a challenge. This park being forgotten is what makes it so wonderful. No garbage, no loud, ignorant visitors, and no barking dogs to disturb the nature.
