Welcome to Morristown’s Community Museum

Come experience everyday American history where it happened. Located in the heart of Morristown's National Historic District, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum was built by George and Louisa Macculloch. The Maccullochs emigrated from London, England to New York City in 1806. In 1810, they purchased 26 acres and a one-story stone bank house from General Joh

n Doughty, a commander in George Washington's Army during the Revolutionary War. The Maccullochs built their Federal style brick mansion, the first significant brick structure in Morristown, in 1810 and added onto it in 1812 and 1819 as their family's influence in local, state, and national history grew. George and Louisa raised a son, Francis Law, and a daughter Mary Louisa, in the mansion on what would become Macculloch Avenue. Five generations of the Macculloch-Miller-Post family lived in the house until 1949. In 1949, the family sold the house to W. He incorporated the house into a museum for public benefit in 1950. Todd spent years preserving the nationally recognized structure and building a fine and decorative arts collection and historic archive. Today, MHHM interprets the history and collections throughout the house's well-preserved rooms and galleries. We offer a diverse schedule of changing exhibitions, educational and public programs attended by thousands of visitors annually.

🐝Big week for Macculloch Hall Historical Museum! 🌿

Our Curator of Education and Community Engagement, Karina Filipowski, and Senior Museum Researcher and Interpreter, Cynthia Winslow, presented at the 2026 conference of the New York City Museum Educators Roundtable!

Their poster session, “Taking Flight: When Museum Preschool Programs Leave the Hive,” highlighted the journey of our Growing Good Health early childhood initiative — a program that encourages preschoolers to explore health, wellness, and the outdoors through hands-on learning experiences in our historic garden and in their classrooms.

Since launching in 2017 with initial support from Morristown Medical Center Atlantic Health System’s Community Health Committee, the program has reached more than 6,000 preschoolers, families, and teachers across 23 Morris County communities. 💚

We are grateful for the continued support of our community partners, including:
• Morris County Child and Family Resources
• Morris County ECE Shared Services Alliance
• Cornerstone Family Programs & Morristown Neighborhood House
• Head Start Community Program of Morris County, Inc.
• The Salvation Army Early Childcare Center of Morristown

Thank you to our incredible community partners and childcare centers for helping this program continue to grow!
