We live in Morristown, New Jersey.
I don’t think I’m giving away any big secrets, with this one, as most readers of my blog know me, and those who don’t could easily find out this information.
Besides, it’s important information for today’s post.
We live in Morristown, New Jersey.
It’s the military capital of the American Revolution.
(See why it’s important…being almost July 4th and all?)
Monkey Girl and I have been taking our time in the morning, while the big boys are at rec, to explore our town.
I grew up here and have lived here all my life, with the exception of 4 years of college and 8 years in a neighboring town, and I find that I still love it so very much.
There is so much history here, in Morristown.
The other morning, we decided to walk around the Green.
So much history in that one little part of town.
Monkey Girl chatting it up with Washington, Hamilton, and LaFayette.
Not Revolutionary, but a beautiful monument, nonetheless. I particularly like the canons that are hidden in the flora.
My beautiful church. Explanation above, photo below.
Beautiful park, with tables for playing checkers or chess, right in the midst of all the history.
All that history made us hungry, so we went for a bagel.
Not all of us were so impressed.
So, that’s just the center of town, and it’s easy to see why a history buff, like me, can get so excited about living in this place.
Summer has just begun, and Monkey Girl and I have a long list of places to explore in our town, so be on the lookout for My Town – Part II, III, IV.
You get the picture.
I love our town too, I’m sure there’s tons of history here. I should get more interested in learning it.

It’s not always easy to find…that’s the problem!
