Morristown's 300 years of death and dying are revealed by local historian/former museum director David Breslauer with an evening lantern tour of the National Historic District.
Starting with the graves at St. Peter's churchyard we will recount the lives of the bones and stones that may be at rest. Buried at the church are Alfred Vail, inventor of the telegraph and George Macculloch and his wife Louisa. Macculloch created the Morris Canal connecting the Delaware and Hudson Rivers across New Jersey.

The lantern walk will then enter the historic neighborhood. The grand homes include the Thomas Nast house, a National Landmark, the Kedge, Edgewood, Goodrest, Evergreens, and the Potts mansion, ending at Macculloch Hall where visitors are never alone with five generations of family members still continue to enjoy their home after 140 years!
