Welcome!

On behalf of Pathways of History participant organizations, welcome to our spring 2026 tour! Please plan to join us for a fun-filled weekend exploring 38 historic sites stewarded by 32 of Morris County’s smallest history organizations as they open their doors and showcase the rich history found throughout the region. Now celebrating its 17th year, the Pathways of History tour 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. Fun for the whole family!

Plan your weekend by using our website and downloadable museum/site lists and map.
