For many Americans, Morristown evokes pictures of ragged troops huddled in log huts, shivering in the bitter cold of winter―but there is more to the history of the town than its important role in the Revolutionary War. By the early nineteenth century, Morristown had become a thriving community, whose growth was accelerated by such projects as the MorrisCanal and the railroad, and in 1865 it was finally incorporated. The city attracted wealthy New Yorkers who built magnificent mansions, many of which can still be seen today. In 1878, the Library and Lyceumopened, bringing art and culture to the booming town. Immigrants were also attracted to Morristown and the Association of Work Among the Italians was founded in 1898 (later renamed Neighborhood House as the ethnic population diversified further), which instructed the new immigrants in English and provided services for their children. The twentieth century saw many changes. The first trolley rumbledaround the Green in 1909, and motor cars soon appeared on the streets. Young men and women went off to two world wars to serve (and many to die for) their country. With the 1960s came urban renewal, as many old buildings were destroyed, corporations took the place of many of the large mansions, and new highways were developed. Yet, still, in the quiet back streets, and among some of the old buildings,a hint of the past can still be seen. Join Joan Williams as she takes us on a journey into that past, and brings to life Morristown as it was. It is a journey which will delight young and old, visitor and resident alike.

Jewish settlers began arriving in Morris County as far back as the Civil War. These early Jews settled in Morristown, a market town; Dover, a mining town located on the Morris Canal; and the farming towns of Pine Brook and Mount Freedom. When each of these communities had 10 adult males, the minimum number for religious services, they established Hebrew schools, synagogues, and congregational cemeteries and made Morris County their home. Morristown and Dover Jews were prosperous merchants with heavily populated Jewish business districts located on Speedwell Avenue and Blackwell Street. Stories of live chickens hanging in the kosher butcher's window and fish swimming in glass pools reflect this bygone era. Nearby Pine Brook and Mount Freedom Jews, not able to make a living as farmers, opened summer boarding houses and grew thriving full-service kosher hotels that rivaled New York's Catskill resorts.
