About Macculloch Hall Historical Museum

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is a nonprofit historic house museum in Morristown. The Federal-style mansion was started in 1810 by George and Louisa Macculloch and enlarged over the following decades. Visitors can tour the house to see American and European fine and decorative art in a nineteenth-century family home. The museum holds the largest collection of original work by political cartoonist Thomas Nast. The grounds include gardens, once part of a working farm, with a historic wisteria and a notable sassafras tree. Guided and self-guided options, including touch tours and a free digital guide, are offered.
