Morristown’s First Winter Encampment, 1777

December 16 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free

Event to be held at Morris County Library, 30 E Hanover Ave, Whippany, NJ 07981

Morris County Historical Society and Morris County Heritage Commission are pleased to present a Revolutionary Lecture Series to celebrate the rich and vast history that makes Morris County so special. Join us for a series of 12 lectures that will cover topics from our area’s role in the American Revolution to the early engineering marvels that forever changed the landscape to the local figures that made national history.

Defined by smallpox inoculations, construction of Fort Nonsense, and General Washington’s stay at Arnold Tavern, the winter encampment of 1777 was a time of “rest and recovery” for the Continental Army directly following their victories at Trenton and Princeton. Join Pat Sanftner, America 250 State Chair for the NJ Society Daughters of the American Revolution, as she lends insight into the legacy of the lesser known of Washington’s two encampments at Morristown. FREE. Space is limited, pre-registration required. Zoom option available.
