Historians agree that the American Revolution surely would have been lost if Washington’s troops had not survived the coldest winter of the era -- even colder than Valley Forge two years earlier. Here the Continental Army under Washington’s leadership emerged as a cohesive and disciplined fighting force. Jockey Hollow is a story of American perseverance that remains a source of inspiration for Americans and the world.
Friends of Jockey Hollow is an official philanthropic partner to Morristown National Historical Park and serves as an independent organization that strives to protect, preserve,
and promote this treasured area because of its environmental quality, recreational value, and profound historical significance.
As a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization within the Community Foundation of New Jersey, the Friends of Jockey Hollow is dedicated to broadening financial support through philanthropy and volunteerism to implement initiatives that will continue to enrich the visiting experience.
