Historic Structures Report, Part I: Wick House

Stewart BW. 1962. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Wick House. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service

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 historic Wick House was restored and furnished by the National Park Service in 1935 and is second only to the Ford Mansion in historical significance in the Park. A typical 18th-century farmhouse, it was associated with the 1777, 1779-80 and 1780-81 encampments of the Continental Army, and has long served as a popular and effective historic house museum.
