Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary in 2026

Dear Friends and Supporters,

First and foremost, we want to extend our heartfelt best wishes to you and your family as we head into the Thanksgiving holiday season.

The Friends of Jockey Hollow’s mission is to spread the imperative message to the nation of the extraordinary role that Jockey Hollow and Morristown played to during the American Revolution. Our hope is that with the leadership of our community, we can illuminate this fact so that ultimately history books will include Jockey Hollow’s vital role alongside that of Valley Forge!

With this aim in mind, we have been planning and implementing major capital improvements for Jockey Hollow since our formation in 2021. Specifically, these plans total approximately $1.6 million. Due to key local and national support, we have already raised and reinvested $772,000 to projects that include a comprehensive signage program throughout the park, a new custom fence at the Wick Garden, horticultural assistance in the Wick Apple Orchard and upgrades to the 27 miles of trails. At the same time, the NPS has overseen extensive work to resurface the roads, preservation work at Wick House and rebuilding of the soldier’s huts. But much remains to be done after decades of deferred maintenance and flat budgets.
