Welcome!

On behalf of Pathways of History participant organizations, welcome to our fall 2026 tour! Please plan to join us for a fun-filled weekend exploring 32 historic sites stewarded by 28 of Morris County’s smallest history organizations as they open their doors and showcase the rich and vast history found throughout the region.

Celebrating its 17th year, the Pathways of History tour is organized by the Morris County Historical Society and features Morris County’s all-volunteer history organizations, the fee-free museums they operate, one-of-a-kind collections they hold, and incredible stories they tell.

Plan your weekend by using our website and downloadable museum/site lists and map. We look forward to seeing you!
