Discovering the Rich History of Morristown

We unexpectedly found ourselves in Morristown, NJ. I have to admit that I never had heard the name, but it turns out to have a lot of historically relevant events connected to it .

Hamilton, Washington and Lafayette statues, talking together

We "met" Hamilton, Washington, and Lafayette right on the green! They were discussing aid of French tall ships and troops being sent by the king of France for our young nation.

Picturesque churches and more history than we could take in on our short visit.

There even was a statue of "Buddy", the first seeing eye dog. I particularly loved this because we raised a Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy, Giant .

I am looking forward to writing a more extensive article on Morristown for Our Carpe Diem, but wanted to give y'all a flavour of our unexpected fun history finds!

Have you ever been to Morristown? Do you know other places where you can find a statue of Hamilton? Let me know in the comments!
