For those who are history buffs like Ben, this spot is a must see! History and nature meet at Jockey Hollow, part of Morristown National Historical Park. Known as the winter encampment site for George Washington’s Continental Army, the park offers miles of scenic hiking trails, historic landmarks, and peaceful picnic spots. It’s a perfect place to stretch your legs, take in the beauty of New Jersey’s countryside, and connect with a little Revolutionary War history along the way.
If you want to skip the chaotic, tourist-trap mega-farms, you have to check out Hacklebarney Cider Mill. It's a laid-back, historic family farm that makes the absolute best cider donuts you'll ever eat, along with fresh wood-pressed apple cider. This is Becky's favorite autumnal farm stop, so grab a sweet treat and soak up the cozy fall vibes while you're in town!
