Morristown National Historical Park is one of the state’s most unique sites – home to countless pieces of Revolutionary War history and stunning hiking trails. This park is home to so many fascinating spots that you’ll discover something new every time. One of them is Jockey Hollow Visitor Center in New Jersey – one of the best visitor centers in New Jersey. Not only is it home to some great information about New Jersey and some shelter in the heat of the day but it’s surrounded by one of the park’s crown jewels – the location used by parts of the Continental Army during the harshest winter of the 1770s.

Jockey Hollow Visitor Center is an oasis in the middle of the sprawling Morristown National Historical Park - and your pathway to adventure.
