In the Winter of 1779-1780, George Washington's army was three years into a brutal struggle with the British, and were facing what would be known as the "Hard Winter," the coldest and longest winter in a century.

Thankfully, Washington chose for his encampment a site in the Watchung Mountains of Morristown called Jockey Hollow. Here the veteran soldiers built a city of log huts, and brought all their previous experience to bear. Together, they would persevere, and prepare themselves to win a Revolution.

The Jockey Hollow Spring Encampment is a testament to that perseverance, a celebration of their success, and your chance to come learn from soldiers and camp followers about their experiences during this defining moment in the American fight for freedom.
