"Many of the home owners who have graciously opened their homes for this Historic District House Tour are women and men who chose to live in and help preserve historic Morristown, New Jersey.  The Museum itself was originally a private residence.  As the Museum's executive director,  I feel the Historic District House Tour is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the Museum along with other historic homes --- all within walking distance of each other and the Museum.  The funds raised will be used to support the Museum, its preservation and its programs."
