HISTORIC FURNISHINGS ASSESSMENT Ford Mansion and Wic·k House Morristown National Historical Park Morristown, New Jersey by Laurel A. Racine Senior Curator ..J Northeast Museum Services Center National Park Service December 2003 Introduction Morristown National Historical Park has two furnished historic houses: The Ford Mansion, otherwise known as Washington's Headquarters, at the edge of Morristown proper, and the Wick House in Jockey Hollow about six miles south. The following report is a Historic Furnishings Assessment based on a one-week site visit (November 2001) to Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and a review of the available resources including National Park Service (NPS) reports, manuscript collections, photographs, relevant secondary sources, and other paper-based materials. The goal of the assessment is to identify avenues for making the Ford Mansion and Wick House more accurate and compelling installations in order to increase the public's understanding of the historic events that took place there. The assessment begins with overall issues at the park including staffing, interpretation, and a potential new exhibition on historic preservation at the Museum. The assessment then addresses the houses individually. For each house the researcher briefly outlines the history of the site, discusses previous research and planning efforts, analyzes the history of room use and furnishings, describes current use and conditions, indicates extant research materials, outlines treatment options, lists the sources consulted, and recommends sourc.es for future consultation.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2017 107 Hills, Huts, and Horse-Teams: The New Jersey Environment and Continental Army Winter Encampments, 1778-1780 By Steven Elliott DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v3i1.67 New Jersey’s role as a base for the Continental Army during the War of Independence has played an important part in the state’s understanding of its role in the American Revolution, and continues to shape the state’s image as the “Cockpit of the Revolution,” and “Crossroads of the American Revolution” today. This article uncovers how and why the Continental Army decided to place the bulk of its forces in northern New Jersey for two consecutive winters during the war. Unlike the more renowned Valley Forge winter quarters, neither New Jersey encampment has received significant scholarly attention, and most works that have covered the topic have presumed the state’s terrain offered obvious strategic advantages for an army on the defensive. This article offers a new interpretation, emphasizing the army’s logistical needs including forage for its animals and timber supplies for constructing winter shelters. The availability of these resources, rather than easily defended rough terrain or close-proximity to friendly civilians, led Washington and his staff to make northern New Jersey its mountain home for much of the war. By highlighting to role of the environment in shaping military strategy, this article adds to our understanding of New Jersey’s crucial role in the American struggle for independence. Introduction In early December, 1778, patriot soldiers from Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia arrived at the southern foothills of New Jersey’s Watchung Mountains and began erecting a log-hut winter encampment near Middlebrook.

    Around and About New Jersey TEACHER'S GUIDE PROGRAM SEVEN MORRISTOWN NATIONAL HISTORIC PARK by David Steven Cohen NJN Public Television and the New Jersey Historical Commission, Department of State Trenton, N.J. Revised, 2006 I. SYNOPSIS The Revolutionary War was an important time in our nation's history. The United States was born more than two hundred years ago, when the people of the British colonies in North America fought to gain their independence from England. Even today, people dress up like Revolutionary War soldiers and come to places like Morristown in order to imagine the life of the ordinary soldier in the Continental Army. At the site of Fort Nonsense, overlooking Morristown, Midge Guerrera, the series host, asks the question: why did George Washington bring his army to Morristown? She points to the Great Swamp and the Watchung Mountains, and explains that these geographic features protected Washington and his army from the British, who had their headquarters in New York City. Here the army was also close to iron mines and foundries that could supply it with cannons and cannonballs. Midge explains that Washington and his army came to Morristown twice during the Revolutionary War: first in January 1777, after he crossed the Delaware River and defeated the British at the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and second in December 1779. During the second encampment, Washington and his staff stayed in Morristown at a large house owned by Mrs. Theodosia Ford, a widow. General Washington, his wife Martha, and his staff lived in the main part of the house, which they made into their headquarters.

    By Arthur Mierisch N 1777, Peter Kemble, a Steadfast Tory, Feared for His Life

    “Americans who called themselves Patriots taunted, then tarred and feathered, and finally, when war came, killed American Tories.” —Thomas A. Allen by Arthur Mierisch n 1777, Peter Kemble, a steadfast Tory, feared for his life. At age seventy two, he was ordered to appear before the ICourt of Quarter Sessions in Morristown, accused of cir- culating General Howe’s pardons and oaths of allegiance to England. He must have been disappointed with his judges for not considering his lifetime contributions as a public ser- vant. Peter Kemble had served dutifully on Jersey Governor Franklin’s Council. He always supported the King’s and the Governor’s directives. At least the ones that best served the colony. After moving to Morristown, he enjoyed being a Justice of the Peace and a mem- ber of the Supreme Court. Both were dignified posi- tions for an educated man and a loyal citizen. The rioting and mayhem throughout the colonies since 1766 disturbed him. After all, Jersey was where he made his fortune, built his home and raised a fam- ily. Why should he side with mobs bent on rob- bing, burning, tarring and feathering, and even hanging his fellow countrymen? Now his life was threatened. On that fateful day, he stood with his son The Loyalists saw Richard before an unfriendly court, seeking a way to survive themselves as the true and to protect his family and property. He had other sons, “patriots”—true to but they could not help. Three were officers in the British their country of Great army and away somewhere tying to put down the rebellion.
