Pathways of History 2024 – Red Tour

As this year’s Pathways of History Tour celebrates our 15th Anniversary, join us as we salute “Momentous Occasions” at over two dozen museums and historic sites across Morris County. Participants will share their “Momentous Occasions,” including benchmark dates, notable founders, and milestones in historic preservation. This year’s Pathways tour also features topics of discussion established annually by the New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC).

Plan your FREE treasure-filled weekend by using our website and downloadable museum/site lists and map. You can access the website here.

You can also view short videos from some of the organizations on the Morris County Historical Society YouTube site.

The Red Tour will be taking place Sunday, May 5th, from 12pm-5pm. Click on any of the venues below to see a narrative page describing the particular site. For specific details on each site’s tour-day events and hours, refer to individual Museum/Site Tours Websites and Facebook pages.
