Morristown, America's first national historical park (1933), preserves the sites of the Continental Army's brutal winter encampments of 1777 and 1779-80, when Washington's army endured cold worse than Valley Forge in the huts of Jockey Hollow.
See the reconstructed soldiers' huts, tour the Ford Mansion where Washington stayed, and walk the Jockey Hollow woods; young kids can earn a Junior Ranger badge. For a challenge, hike the full 27-mile trail network through the forests the soldiers logged and guarded.
