Morris County Historical Society

Morris County Historical Society 's (MCHS) mission is to preserve and promote the history of Morris County, New Jersey. Headquarters for MCHS since 1971, Acorn Hall was built in 1853, and remodeled to an Italianate Villa style by 1860. The building is operated today as a historic house museum. In addition to interpreting the history and families of Acorn Hall, MCHS's changing exhibits highlight the depth and breadth of its extensive historic collections and archival materials related to Morris County and New Jersey history. MCHS continues to honor Acorn Hall's last living resident, Mary Crane Hone, by honoring her legacy of historic preservation and history education in its stewardship of Acorn Hall and exhibition of historic collections.
