It was a nice place but it would be better in Springfield and Summer with plants blossoming. Still a nice day trip and a lot of walking.

The statute of Gunny John Basilone makes you truly understand why they are called the Greatest Generation. They sacrifice all for our freedom.This comment was made about Gunny John Basilones statue in Raritan, NJ. I was asked by Google what I thought about the statue and park while I was on a hike in Morristown National Historical Park. Having a tremendous appreciation for what the U.S.A. WWII Veterans accomplished, I answered the solicitation right away. Anyway, I believe that Google probably and erroneously auto-corrected the location from Raritan to Morristown.

Quite a beautiful park. Cross estate is a small place. See that as an afterthought.

Great place to take the kids and teach them a bit of history.

Its hard to see the lavish home George Washington spent a challenging winter in while his troops roughed it out in Jockey Hollow. The house and grounds were closed when I visited although you get a good view of the house on the drive there. The grounds were closed due to some down trees and they seemed to be cleaned up when I got there. The ford mansion is a short walk from the parking lot.

I went to this place along with friends and family on a sunny day. This place is good for a day hike. There are several trails for hiking and most if them are easy to walk. The forest was lush green and it would definitely sooth body and mind. We went to visit the winter hut and found out how the American soldiers lead by George Washington, struggled and survived long winters during their fight for freedom from British rulers. This place is pet friendly and must visit.

Great hike, very informative staff, and paths are well cared for!

A great place for a quiet weekend activity. We stopped by to check out Jockey Hollow. On our way to the attraction we went through the visitor center, which is small but offers a video for visitors to watch, an example cabin, and a cute gift store selection.We purchase a National Park passport and got a stamp at the counter to keep track of our visit and future park visits!The park was super quiet, we practically had the place to ourselves.We definitely plan to come back to check out the many hiking trails throughout the woods.Everything is super clean and well maintained. Definitely worth a visit!

Historic and supporting our National Park services. Will be back again

Well marked trails and maps at most intersections. Cool points of interest and beautiful scenery along the way.

Morristown is a great historical park. It can be seen completely in only and hour or two. Be sure to visit the museum at Washingtons headquarters. My two young boys loved the exhibits, especially the short videos and replica uniforms they could try on.

State-of-the-art exhibits am really good staff as well as a small gift shop make this a great National Park. Its a little hard to find due to one way roads but well worth the effort. I enjoyed the coin and postcards that they had for sale as well is the nice T shirts. The exhibit were you have to make decisions as if you were George Washington and you have different officers giving you advice was a lot of fun. I cant say enough about the great the staff .

Great place for a short hike with some revolutionary history as an added bonus.

A wonderful place to visit and learn about. Informative exhibits, welcoming staff and resource. Ill be returning.

A good opportunity for learning a part of the American revolution. You can learn historically important details about Genaral Washingtons winter encampment in 1779.Watch the fifteen minutes video first and then see the replica hut inside the visitor center before heading out to the Wicks mansion. Plenty of hiking trails is a plus if you want to make your visit more enjoyable.

I had no idea about this portion of history. Very unexpected information. Great place to visit with a tour and an interactive museum.

Such a beautiful beautiful place! Morris County is simply the best in fall!

Excellent Park with some great Trails for hiking. With a bit of a challenge & beautiful views.

First time hiking a trail here. Pretty good trail for me and my pup. I did the blue trail which wasnt bad at all. Will be trying the white trail next go around, which I believe is around 6 - 7 miles long

Good telephone stories and very interesting history. Good for a field day

Great place to go for a walk. Take photos with the family and learn about American history. I would highly recommend this place for those who are and are not into history. A hidden gem in the Morristown area.

Unaware of the significance of Morristown in the Revolutionary War, this was a nice and informative visit. It a quick and interesting stop and dont miss Fort Nonsense for the views and interesting history.

My wife and I took a lovely hike with our dog here. It is beautiful trail (we took the outerloop), well maintained and well marked. There are small creeks and ponds scattered throughout the hike, maps to keep you on the right path, view points with benches. We will definitely be returning again in the future!

The hiking was beautiful and scenic through lush forest areas with mild elevation changes. Bring some bug repellent! Otherwise, the visit in mid July was highly enjoyable. I will return with more time, and will update this review to include info on the visitors center and more of the historical landmarks.

If you love history this is a must go place. My kids enjoyed seeing history come to life by all the volunteers. I really enjoyed the historical reenactment of Washingtons encampment of Morristown during the American Revolutionary War. Plus it is free.

Wonderful history. The gift shop is reasonably priced. Clean restrooms.We were there for encampment weekend and the reenactment was pretty cool!

I stumbled across this place while staying in nearby Whippany. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. The grounds are beautiful for walking around. The museum was interesting and the staff working there were extremely helpful. I also enjoyed the tour of the Ford Mansion and learned a lot from our tour guide. Morristown is also a beautiful place to roam around. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Very nice park to go hiking and catch a glimpse of History.

Tons of hiking trails for a variety of levels. The history and natural beauty of Jockey Hollow makes this a great place for a family outing.George Washington encamped here during the Revolutionary War, making this a place of historical significance in our nations history.

Great historical place to visit and great for hiking

Visiting this museum was great, my family, incldg boys aged 9 & 11, loved it. Very informative, original artifacts from 1700s. We especially recommend seeing the Ford mansion where Pres. Washington stayed once for abt 6 mos. But you can only see it by registering for the tour in the museum. Both are free, tours seem to be on the hour, last at 3pm. Good website, very helpful, & interactive.

This is a very informative and educational historical site to visit. The museum offers lots of interactive and historical exhibits for visitors. It even has a movie to watch. These exhibits will teach you about George Washington and the American Revolution. One example is there is George Washingtons Inaugural Sword at one of the exhibit rooms. That is a golden gem at the museum. It even has interactive exhibits for kids to learn about history but, in an interactive way. There is a Ford Mansion Tour which starts at the museum. The tour teaches you about George Washington’s stay at the mansion and the winter of 1779 to 1780 which was a very bad winter. Even talks about the history of the home itself. Even there is Jockey Hollow (park) where you can walk around and see the huts + wick home. Also there is an another museum at Jockey Hollow. The best part it is all FREE!

Very nice place.

Lovely park to walk around. I usually come here on my lunch break when the weather is nice

Great walks around historical New Jersye

Grew up in Morristown. These parks were part of my backyard. Low key. Rarely many tourists. Nice way for revolutionary was history to just be part of the background. Also lovely places for walks.

Excellent Grand loop trial hike.

We did not like the park, is extremely small it there is nothing to see or do because is so small that in two minutes you walk all around the park. Very disappointed.

Love the rich history here.

Wanted to look inside but was closed due to covid

Its hard to believe General Washington and his trips stayed here. Its great to walk around and imagine what it must have been like.

Great place for the history buff! Learn all about our countrys fight for independence! Lots of information, videos, museum pieces and even an interactive area for children. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the quality of the tours of the Ford Mansion is inconsistent, with more or less information depending on who is giving the tour.

Very well taken care of. Wonderful museum. Great room in the basement with interaction for kids.

Large park with major historical significance. Washingtons troops overwintered here. Lots of walking trails

Very quiet and beautiful trails. Aware you could meet a big bear so I don’t recommend to walk through forest with small kids. But still worth for drive!

Love the park for a good hiking. Different lengths trails blazed. Clean restrooms.

Get there early to get your tickets. The visitors center is great with really nice displays and artifacts.

Beautiful park great paved roads or wonderful dirt trails to hike.

Great place to take a dog for a walk, even in the rain!

Went camp8ng and hiking with a Boy Scout troop, beautifully maintained trails and campsite. Terrific historical trail, rangers were friendly and helpful.

Great place that mixes nature with history. A the small visitors center has a nice video presentation of the events of 1779-80 which helps puts things in perspective. The trail/walking road is picturesque and there are recreations to see along the way.

Great if you are interested in the history from that time period. Good for a casual walk with your pet. Not great for an experianced hike through the woods.

Went for a hike here - I may have been being dense but couldnt find any trail heads for quite a while and kept going in circles! Once I got on them they were great and not crowded. Gentle hike, though occasionally unclear on which trail was which when they divided. Have bathrooms around the back of the visitors center.Would highly recommend a visit!

Very nice and friendly historical park with lots to do.

The park is spread across multiple sites. As a whole they are excellent, but you need a car or bikes to hit them all.

Good for hiking and good for learning history. Site of the winter encampments of the Revolutionary Army, the historical sites offer a good view into the extraordinary suffering and dedication required to win freedom from Great Britain. Hiking: The longest track (Grand Loop) will take one six miles around the park. It is well marked. This route also connects with Patriot Path, a much longer trail that leaves the Park and travels through nearby communities. There are two gardens within the Park -- one sited in the main body of the Park on the grounds of an historic farm, and another nearby, adjacent to the New Jersey forces encampment.

Good refreshing place to visit if you like hiking...

Although small.....nice walk through.

Brilliant

Expect anything here ! Beautiful park.

This is quite possibly the most underrated historical site I have ever been to. The museum is a treasure trove of Revolutionary War artifacts and informative videos, maps and interactive displays. My 8 year old son was thrilled. They have replica clothing you can try on, as well. Excellent gift shop, as well. The tour was nothing special. We had a boring guide. It was informative, though.

For anyone who is a fan of history and hiking it doesnt get better than this. Hike to different original and recreated historical sites from the Revolution. See buildings as they were and listen to reenactors tell you the history. If hiking isnt for you then you can drive to different sites as well. As always, the National Park Rangers I encountered were wonderful.

An excellent place to learn some things about George Washington and the Rev War. Extremely well educated staff in all departments and the customer service is always great. They’re latest addition is very modern and super kid friendly. I would recommend this place to people of all ages and types.

Nice to walk around. The exhibits in the education center in the Washington museum were particularly fun to play with. The tour in the Ford house was interesting, our guide was very knowledgeable.

A nice place to go with family. Some nice walking trails. Ok to take the dog too.

Main winter encampment of Continental army, it survived a tough winter here in 1980. Wicks were true patriots. Wick garden and house are maintained by National Park service.

Loved it. Home tour by ranger was excellent. So glad Jockey Hollow is still preserved after 240 years.

A great piece of history right next til NYC. A most stop for anyone interested in the holiday of the U.S. There is a lot do here, including hiking, looking at historical buildings from the 1700s and a cool museum with a gift shop. Highly recommend visiting and learning about how important this site was during the revolutionary war.

I spent most of my time at the Cross Estate Gardens. But did explore some of the trails. Enjoyable, and would return

Humbling to know I was standing where General Washington stood. We are huge Hamilton fans, so being were they courted was also pretty cool.

The trails were well marked, good hike and kid friendly.

A great place to visit, to hike, to see where our brave MEN, stayed duri g that terrible winter.

Most beautiful garden I know of.. peaceful and relaxing

Beautiful Gardens.

The Wick House is a beautiful piece of history. Next to it is a recreation of a rustic, small colonial garden.If you like hiking, there are a few trails to choose from. All of them lovely.Theres much more to this vast place, that I havent gotten to explore yet.

Always cool

Going place for a quiet walk. Kids enjoyed exploring y many paths.

Great place for those interested in Revolutionary war. Learn about Washingtons army, browse the interesting selection of books and gift, or go for a walk through history. National park, so little rangers can earn a badge here.

This is a wonderful view into life in the winter of 1779-80 and the struggle of the American Revolution. The 50 minute Ford Mansion tour was very well done, historical restored with period furnishings. The National Park Service ranger was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. The exhibits in the Visitor Center are interesting as well; plan to spend an hour or so there. The manuscript gallery was the highlight for me. The National Park Service always does a great job; I highly recommend visiting.

Great place to get a view of colonial history and revolution.

Nice park 3 Mile loop with hills. Nice ride on a bike

It has beautiful space to walk and nature. Also the ways are food

Cute date spot. Clean, beautiful and quiet. I would definitely go back.

Very cool place. Lots of history, the visitor center had a great recreation of a soldiers hut and an interesting documentary about the harsh winter during the revolutionary war. The trails were great, clearly marked and very easy to follow with a nice variety of paths. Will revisit.

The Ford house viewing was neat - I learned a few interesting things from our tour guide - he did a great job - I found the museum a bit dull - but its worth sitting through the video if you have not seen it on TV

Beautiful little museum and park. Fun for a short stop.

This park is enormous. You need a day or two to explore. Beautiful place to learn American history.

This place is lovely. I love the park trails and also the small river.

For a national park I was disappointed. the movie was ok, but had to pay to see it...that was a first for me

Beautiful gardens. One of the best-kept secrets within Jockey Hollow National Park

Im usually not about this kind of stuff - but I had a blast here. Its pretty spread out and makes for a great walk.

Large park, has historical significance (Washington troops spent a winter there, stop at their visitor center to learn more); also great for hiking (marked trails of different lengths).

I went there for a trail run of the Grand Loop. I was really disappointed with a trail signs and thought that they could use quite a bit of improvement. I suspect that the people rated the trails very highly must have had a map with GPS. I went with the assumption that the trail signs would be good enough to follow. Perhaps that was my mistake.

It was a very wonderful experience my wife and I saw the Ford mansion an it was very informative

This is a review of the trails. The park says it has about 27 miles of trails and I ran over 10 of them today. The trails would get a 5 star but for the need for maintenance. A lot of trees have been knocked over and many lay across the trails. At one point on the Aqueduct Trail you have to go under a widow-maker also some spots are just mud. Some trails, like a portion of the Patriots Trail is so overgrown you cant see the ground.Dont plan on using the NPS map as it does not have many of the trail. You will be better off taking a photo of the map at one of the kiosks. Note: There are places where trails intersect and could use markers to indicate which trail goes where. The only time I saw anyone on the trail was on the yellow trail near the soldiers hut and near Wicks House. Many walked people walked, ran and biked on the road but I had the trails mostly to myself. Definitely plan to come back and run more of the trails.

Nice place to hike, lots of history there. Better maps would be great! Did not see a restroom anywhere near the Jockey Hollow side.

I really enjoyed my visit. I went to the park with coworkers. The irony is we had a summer intern from England join us on the tour. The interactive exhibits were very informative and fun to use.

I checked out Jockey Hallow park..It was great. We hiked the green and red trail.

I love the National Park Service. This little museum is informative and well done. Tours are available as are supporting materials pointing you to the other locations around the county for the historic park like Jockey Hollow and the Ford Mansion.

Ive of the best gems of NJ
