During the harsh winter of 1779-1780, George Washington used the Ford Mansion as his military headquarters while leading the Continental Army.
The Ford Mansion is a prime example of Georgian architecture, characterized by its symmetry and classic proportions.
The mansion is a key feature of the Morristown National Historical Park, which was the first national historical park in the United States, established in 1933.
The mansion was built by Jacob Ford Jr., a successful iron manufacturer and colonel in the Morris County Militia during the American Revolution.
Today, the mansion is preserved as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into 18th-century life and the Revolutionary War era.
The mansion is a large, two-and-a-half-story house with 14 rooms, reflecting the wealth and status of its original owner.
