Morristown National Historical Park commemorates the sites of General Washington and the Continental army’s winter encampment of December 1779 to June 1780, where they survived through what would be the coldest winter on record. The park also maintains a museum and library collection related to the encampments & George Washington, as well as items relating to pre- and post-Revolutionary America. The Wick House is presently the main feature of the Jockey Hollow area of Morristown National Historical Park. During the summer of 1964, it was noticed that damage was being done to the structure by insects. Requests for quotations to treat for termites and powder post beetles were sent to four companies. The purchase order for the work was awarded to Bruce Terminex of East Orange, New Jersey, the only company to supply a quotation. The work was started in November, and the receiving report was forwarded to the Regional Office on December 16, 1964. This report details the work performed. It is suggested that between five and ten years from this date, a structural rehabilitation of the Wick House be considered if the house is to be preserved.
