Historic Buildings Survey Report: Continental Army Hospital Hut

Hugins WE. 1957. Historic Buildings Survey Report: Continental Army Hospital Hut. 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. This Historic Buildings Survey Report concerns the reconstructed Continental Army Hospital Hut. It is proposed that the hut be used as a historical exhibit and device to assist in the interpretation of the area, as the hospital hut portrays a significant feature of the Continental Army encampment of 1779-80.
