Schuyler-Hamilton, Washington Headquarters, Jockey Hollow Trip

Just back from fun multiple-site trip in Morristown area. First stop was Schuyler-Hamilton House - https://www.njdar.org/schuyler-hamilton.html - where Pat Sanftner of the NJ DAR gave a great review of the history of the house, the Schuyler family and Alexander Hamilton. (This site gives a very good synopsis of Pat's discussion - http://www.njskylands.com/attractions-schuyler-hamilton-house).

From there, we travelled down the street to Washington's Headquarters at the Ford house. There's a good HQ museum with period items, a rare manuscript collection, and cannons, muskets, etc.
