Through two years of research, MCHS has traced the 487 known students of the Morristown Sewing School, many of whom lived their entire lives in the Morristown area. If one of the women below is a member of your family tree, we would love to hear from you! MCHS is eagerly seeking any photographs or stories you may have of your ancestor, particularly from her younger years. Email us at MCHSAcornHall@gmail.com or call us at 973-267-3465.
