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 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 $2.5 million. Due to key local and national support, we have already raised and reinvested $1.6 million to projects that include a new fence at the Wick Garden, orchard restoration, trail upgrades, and the complete renovation of the 50-year-old New York Brigade Comfort Station with ADA-accessible features, structural improvements, and new interpretative medallions.

Thanks to our partners at the National Park Service, the Wick House, roads, and soldiers’ huts have also seen critical preservation work.

Yet, decades of deferred maintenance and flat budgets mean much remains to be done.
