Colonial Taverns & Forges Walking Tour

Colonial Taverns & Forges Walking Tour

The Morris County Walking Tour Series, presented by the Morris County Historical Society, celebrates the area’s rich and diverse past with the Colonial Taverns & Forges Walking Tour. From April through October, join us for nearly 40 guided walking tours that explore almost two dozen communities throughout Morris County, with topics ranging from unique historic districts, downtowns, and neighborhoods to local industries that shaped the landscape, and the individuals who left a lasting impact.

The tour will take us along the Den Brook to the sites of two pre-Revolutionary War forges, and to an 18th century Tavern, saw mill and gristmill, where a slave woman named Dinah tended to the patrons, where local Native Americans came to hear the news of the day, and where George Washington likely waited while his horse was shod by a local blacksmith.
