The area interpreted as the Wick Farm unit of the park is approximately 18 acres within the Jockey Hollow unit on the outskirts of Morristown, New Jersey. The Wick Farm consists of the house lot and the orchard. The site is bordered by roads on three sides and woodland on the rear. The primary features of the site consist of several buildings, the restored historic orchard, the restored Tempe Wick road trace, and a period herb garden. Buildings include the original Wick farmhouse, smoke house, cow shed, privy and well head. The orchard covers approximately 10 acres with more than 250 apple trees of varying age. The herb garden is a period design that stems from the site’s overall restoration and reconstruction by the Works Progress Administration in 1935.
