YearPlaced: 1979
MarkerDescription: Morris County, incorporated in 1739 by Colonel Lewis Morris, governor of the province of New Jersey, is rich in history. County seat Morristown was the site of two Revolutionary War encampments for George Washington and the Continental Army during the winters of 1777 and 1779-1780. During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the county was one of the nation’s major iron-producing centers, and by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was renowned for technological developments. The Morris Canal was conceived by George Macculloch of Morristown. Also in Morristown, Stephen Vail designed and built the engine of the “Savannah,” the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, in 1819. Morse code and the telegraph were invented at Speedwell Iron Works by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail. A cousin to the Speedwell Vail’s, Theodore Vail, the first president of the Bell Telephone Company, laid the foundation for what would become AT&T. Denville-based Reaction Motors Inc. designed the propulsion system for the Bell X-1 in 1941; on October 14, 1947, the Bell X-1 became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier. Morris County has also made significant contributions in the social and artistic arenas as well. Beginning in the eighteenth century, Morris County’s women have played active roles in the local and national communities by participating in war efforts, establishing charitable institutions, actively participating in the political arena, and demonstrating for suffrage. The Seeing Eye, the first American guide dog school, has been located in Morristown since 1930. In the early twentieth century, Gustav Stickley chose Parsippany for his furniture and housing design factory. His Craftsman style revolutionized the interior and exterior designs of American homes. Authors and artists as diverse as Dorothy Parker, John Reed, Joyce Kilmer, and Thomas Nast called the county home at one time or another.

MarkerDescription: Village of Stirling was formed in 1871 when The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York developed this area when the railroad came through. The company planned and built the village, which included a factory that it leased to a button manufacturer. In 1886 the factory became a silk mill, operated by French émigré Claude Chaffanjon, where the majority of the workers were French. Chaffanjon donated land for a public school and Catholic church. Successive owners hired immigrants from Germany, Italy, Armenia, and Poland. When the demand for silk fell, the mill was sold in 1938 to a company that made airplane parts during World War II. Other businesses occupied the factory until it burned in 1974. Morris County Heritage Commission

MarkerDescription: Native Americans living near this site called the surrounding area Succasuny (now Succasunna) meaning “place of the black stone.” The black stone—iron ore—attracted white settlers. Jonathan Dickerson, father of Governor Mahlon Dickerson, acquired title to this land in 1779. The tract was worked under a system of forge rights until 1807. According to some historians, the mine, under previous owners, had operated since 1710, making it the oldest iron mine in the United States. (Caution! Flooded mine shaft openings make the surrounding terrain very dangerous. Visitors are highly discouraged from exploring this area.) Morris County Heritage Commission

He built this stately Federal style house in sections from 1810 to 1814, including the west wing where he ran a boys' Latin school with the assistance of his wife Louisa. They were instrumental in founding St. Peter's Church in Morristown. Louisa was active in many local charities, including the Female Charitable Aid Society, which is still in operation as Family Services of Morris County. George was also interested in crops and crop production. The first recorded cultivated tomato in New Jersey was grown in the garden at Macculloch Hall. In 1949 the Honorable W. Parsons Todd acquired the house. Mr. Todd, a distinguished philanthropist and former mayor of Morristown, restored the mansion and gardens and opened them to the public. Today Macculloch Hall is a museum featuring permanent and changing exhibits relating to history and the arts.

On 14 July 1825 Sansay and prominent men of Morristown hosted a dinner here honoring General Lafayette during his return visit to America. Sansay’s business declined after local ministers began preaching against “the sin of dancing.” Discouraged, he quietly left town, traveling to Elizabeth, where his fate remains unknown. In 1872, General Joseph Warren Revere bought the Sansay House and resided there until he died in 1880.

The pacifist Rogerenes had no clergy and built no churches. Their rejection of all formalized religious practices and their habit of working on Sundays often annoyed other Christians. Most of the Rogerenes in Morris County had become members of other denominations by the late eighteenth century. Morris County Heritage Commission

Occasionally it also produced steel truss bridges for county roads. By 1875, Bartleyville included a school, post office, general store, and workers’ housing. The railroad, which still runs through this area, gave the foundry and local farmers access to wide markets. An eclectic Victorian house owned by Augustus Bartley still stands.

MarkerLocation: Flanders - Drakestown Rd
YearPlaced: 2001
MarkerDescription: Settlers first arrived in the area in the mid-eighteenth century to farm the land or mine iron. As early as 1768, Baptists and Presbyterians shared a log church on property donated by James Heaton. The 1850s churches stand on either side of the Mount Olive Academy, which was constructed in 1837 after an 1820 stone school on the same site collapsed. The Academy functioned as a public school for many years. Residents of the village included the Salmon and Stephens families, who owned substantial interests in the iron mines during the early nineteenth century. The Presbyterian Church is now a private home. Morris County Heritage Commission

YearPlaced: 1980
MarkerDescription: The original stone section of this house may pre-date its use as a tavern during the nineteenth century on the Morris and Sussex Turnpike. The Allen family owned this property between 1881 and 1944. Hugh Allen was a prominent public works contractor and built many roads. While under contract to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, Allen constructed rail lines in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He also built and operated railroad-owned coal docks at Port Morris along the Morris Canal. The Allens prompted Netcong’s development through the subdivision of Allen Hill into smaller building lots.

MarkerDescription: The Morris Canal and Banking Company created Lake Musconetcong in 1846 as the Morris Canal’s Stanhope Reservoir. The lake supplied water that filled the canal and powered local industries. Mules treading an earthen causeway across the lake pulled boats loaded with coal, iron ore, or freight along a channel in the lake bed. Use of the lake for industrial purposes waned during the early 20th century. Morris County Heritage Commission, New Jersey Register of Historic Places, National Register of Historic Places

MarkerDescription: Artifacts found at this site provide evidence of human habitation between 1250 B.C. and 1570 A.D. Archeologists suspect the Leni-Lenape Indians used the natural rock formation as a hunting and butchering station. The site may also have had some astronomical significance. Some scholars suggest the petroglyphs of animals and other figures were etched upon these rocks between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. and might represent star patterns. The Rockhouse has one of the few petroglyph markings found in New Jersey. The township owns and maintains the property surrounding this significant landmark. Morris County Heritage Commission

MarkerLocation: 525 Newark Pompton Tpk-Pompton Plains
YearPlaced: 1976
MarkerDescription: The congregation that built this church was once part of a Reformed Dutch church organized in 1736 in Wayne Township. When a split occurred between members over the validity of ordaining of ministers outside of Holland, those who accepted American ordination came here. Influenced by noted seventeenth-century neo-classical architect Christopher Wren, the 1771 church reflects the growing sophistication of Pequannock’s prosperous farming population. A fire gutted the structure in 1937, leaving only the walls. However, the church was rebuilt according to the original design and remains one of the most historically significant houses of worship in Morris County.

SiteName: Silas Riggs House
Town: Roxbury Twp
MunicipalID: 1436
MarkerLocation: 217 main St - Ledgewood
YearPlaced: 1976
MarkerDescription: This pre-Revolutionary saltbox was named after the family of Silas and Harriet Riggs, known to have lived here since the early 1800s. Silas, a tanner, supplied local mines with leather pouches used to transport iron ore. He also supervised construction of part of the Morris Canal and oversaw the operation of three barges. His son Albert ran the nearby canal store in the 1830s. To save the house from being demolished in 1962 when Route 10 was being constructed, the Roxbury Township Historical Society acquired the house and had it moved here from its original location across the highway. The house serves as the meeting place of the Roxbury Township Historical Society and is open to the public.

MarkerLocation: 337 S. Salem St (municipal bldg.)
YearPlaced: 1979
MarkerDescription: Victory Gardens was a federal housing project for local defense workers employed at Picatinny Arsenal and other nearby defense-related industries during World War II. The youngest and smallest municipality in Morris County, it was incorporated in 1951 after it separated from Randolph. Victory Gardens, like the nineteenth-century company towns that preceded it, was created to encourage efficiency and productivity by providing affordable housing. The Borough has curvilinear street patterns and a legacy of romantic nineteenth century landscape design and is characteristic of many New Jersey suburbs built from the late 1920s to the present.

YearPlaced: 1977
MarkerDescription: German settlers established farms in this region as early as 1740. The prevalence of stone buildings reflects the German influence throughout the area. The ruins of the Old Stone Union Church recall the pastorate of Reverend Melchior Muhlenberg, known as the father of Lutheranism in America. Rev. Muhlenberg organized the German Valley congregation. His eldest son, the Reverend Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, also served as pastor here and served as a major general in the Continental Army. The ruins are one of many sites in the German Valley Historic District. German Valley was renamed Long Valley at the onset of World War I.

MarkerLocation: 41 N. Main St.
YearPlaced: 1978
MarkerDescription: Scattered iron mines and forges existed here throughout the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. When Robert Ford Oram, a Cornish-born mine supervisor, came to this area, originally known as Irondale, he further developed the iron industry by taking full advantage of the transportation routes that converged here—namely the Morris Canal and the Morris and Essex Railroad. He helped develop the rural, sparsely settled hinterland into a canal port and train depot that grew into a thriving multi-ethnic community including Irish, Welsh, Cornish, and Hungarian immigrants. In 1902 the borough renamed itself Wharton after Pennsylvania iron magnate Joseph Wharton, who purchased the Port Oram furnace in 1881 and transformed it into New Jersey’s largest and most modern ironworks.

Lindsley designed and constructed this Victorian farmhouse for Edwin Ford, a descendant of John Ford, one of the township’s original settlers and owner of this property. The house replaced an earlier structure built by Samuel Ford, Edwin’s great-grandfather. Fordville was built with techniques popularized by architect Orson S. Fowler in his 1853 book, A Home for All, or the Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building. Fordville’s masonry may be the earliest example in New Jersey of gravel wall construction. Part of the house became a school for area children taught by Edwin’s daughter Sarah Elizabeth.

MarkerDescription: Morris County, incorporated in 1739 by Colonel Lewis Morris, governor of the province of New Jersey, is rich in history. County seat Morristown was the site of two Revolutionary War encampments for George Washington and the Continental Army during the winters of 1777 and 1779-1780. During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the county was one of the nation’s major iron-producing centers, and by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was renowned for technological developments. The Morris Canal was conceived by George Macculloch of Morristown. Also in Morristown, Stephen Vail designed and built the engine of the “Savannah,” the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, in 1819. Morse code and the telegraph were invented at Speedwell Iron Works by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail. A cousin to the Speedwell Vail’s, Theodore Vail, the first president of the Bell Telephone Company, laid the foundation for what would become AT&T. Denville-based Reaction Motors Inc. designed the propulsion system for the Bell X-1 in 1941; on October 14, 1947, the Bell X-1 became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier. Morris County has also made significant contributions in the social and artistic arenas as well. Beginning in the eighteenth century, Morris County’s women have played active roles in the local and national communities by participating in war efforts, establishing charitable institutions, actively participating in the political arena, and demonstrating for suffrage. The Seeing Eye, the first American guide dog school, has been located in Morristown since 1930. In the early twentieth century, Gustav Stickley chose Parsippany for his furniture and housing design factory. His Craftsman style revolutionized the interior and exterior designs of American homes. Authors and artists as diverse as Dorothy Parker, John Reed, Joyce Kilmer, and Thomas Nast called the county home at one time or another.

The present edifice, an eclectic design combining Greek and Gothic revival styles, was built in 1835. The Church is the main focal point of the Hanover Village Historic District, a former agricultural community with structures built between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries in a variety of styles. The village became a set in the 1912 D.W. Griffith film “The Stream of Life.” In the late 1920s residents successfully fought to prevent the state from executing its plans to have Route 10 constructed directly through the main street, within a few feet of church property.
