Let us help you get out on a SUNDAY morning! On the edge of Morristown, this historical park provides a scenic and easy hike for us to enjoy. We will hike an easy trail through forest and past historic recreations of soldier’s huts from the Revolutionary War (winter of 1779-1780). The trail is relatively flat with only small uphill and downhill so it is perfect for beginners.

After our adventure, we will optionally go out to eat for lunch.
