4/3/26 Visit: Ford's Mansion is just one of many New…read moreJersey's historical sites. The tour is Free! Erik was our tour guide. We started out at the Washington Headquarters Museum. (In the museum, there's a video on Washington's stay in the winter of 1779-80. It'll give you an excellent overview, either before or after your tour). We then walked up a hill to Ford's Mansion. *It's a bit of a hike up the hill. In the mansion, George Washington had established his headquarters during the winter of 1779- 1780. During this winter, there was approximately 96 inches of snow. (I'll never complain about snow again). LOL... The Continental Army camped out about miles away at Jockey Hollow. The home is well preserved and maintained. After the tour of the home, we walked back to the museum. The museum was really wonderful to explore. The museum has a wonderful gift shop. Parking availability is in a small lot and on the street. Whether you're a history buff or not, think you'll enjoy the visit to Ford's Mansion.

PROS: Absolutely amazing! This building is all original and displayed properly. The land is…read morelandscaped well and the tour guide Fred was somewhat friendly.

Arts & culture abound in the Garden State, particularly in the state's rare gem of Morris County…read more Nestled on South Street in the heart of Morristown, the Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) stands as a beacon for art lovers and music enthusiasts alike. With its rich history dating back to 1937, this establishment has transformed from a movie theater into a vibrant hub for performing arts boasting an assortment of exciting events year-round that features everything from in-person concerts and comedy shows to livestreams and virtual events. Walking through its doors feels like stepping into another world--one filled with anticipation and excitement. My partner and I were lucky to obtain tickets via an online market reseller (the Tickets Center) at Left Orchestra, row P, for last night's performance of Riverdance 30. Upon entering this warm and inviting venue as first-timers with an orchestra and the balcony section, we were greeted by the staff and waited for the doors to open 30 minutes before the start of the show. The bar on the main floor had alcohol, soda, chips, and other light snacks. Our cushiony seats were comfortable, providing a clear view of the stage and a great sound system. The show was a fusion of traditional and contemporary Irish as well as international dance. The music is choreographed with stunning costumes and cutting-edge visuals, bringing its magic to audiences. Prices were comparable to the area and artist. Parking was offered via the online market reseller, and I purchased it. The location was a 15 min walk, and we were okay with that. It was so easy to enter and exit without the congestion. However, the QR scan ticket provided by them was not able to be scanned at the destined location machine. As a result, I had to pay twice. When communicating with this reseller, they refused to refund, as it was a final sale. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out by contacting directly the Mayo PAC and not Tickets-Center.

Last night, my husband and I went to The Nutcracker at Mayo Performing Arts Center. It was a…read morecollaboration between the NJ Ballet and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO). We attend NJSO concerts, but this was our first time seeing the New Jersey Ballet. The entire experience at Mayo was wonderful. We drove into Morristown and parked at one of the nearby municipal lots. Going through security went alright and ticket scanning went without a hitch. It was a packed house and very crowded. Ushers helped us find our seats in row J, where we had a good view of the stage. Seats were comfortable, too. The show was about two hours with a 20 minute intermission. There are concessions on both the first and second floor. It was a cold night, so we bought hot drinks to warm up before the show - a $3 hot tea for him and my $6 "snow queen special" hot cocoa (it was worth the $). People working at concessions on the 1st floor were nice and kept it moving. With this kind of performance, the orchestra was in the pit and the dancers were on the stage. MPAC's space has good acoustics. The stage sets and lighting design exceeded any expectations I may have had. Photography and video recording is prohibited during performances, and it appeared from my seat that audience members complied. The Nutcracker was fantastic! It won over two grinches like us last night; we both said how we should go again if it runs at MPAC next year. MPAC surpassed any expectations we had last evening and we hope to see other acts/shows during the 25/26 season (and recommend you do also).
