Description:

The Morris Museum, located approximately two miles from the center of Morristown, NJ is a hidden gem. Housed in an historic mansion in a beautiful residential neighborhood, it’s the third largest museum in the state, with a permanent collection of more than 40,000 objects. In addition to the collection, which ranges from rocks and minerals, model trains and mechanical musical instruments, there is a 312-seat theater (the Bickford), which produces and presents professional productions including musicals, comedies, dramas and musical series’ of a variety of genres. Supplementing the permanent exhibition is a wide array of limited run and traveling exhibitions.
