Roads
Morristown National Historical Park
Today the Mendham-Elizabethtown Road looks about as the army found it. The highways then were rivers and the sea. Roads – usually short and rough – led to water. Jockey Hollow Road, a little improved today for motor vehicles, led farmers to market.
That New Jersey winter was no time to travel. Couriers and soldiers used the roads, but most people stayed home and let the army get what few supplies it could – barely enough.
Marker is on Jockey Hollow Road, on the right when traveling south.
