Next date: Wednesday, August 19, 2026 | 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM

Morris County Historical Society and Morris County Heritage Commission are pleased to present a Revolutionary Lecture Series to celebrate the rich and vast history that makes Morris County so special. Join us for a series of 12 lectures that will cover topics from our area’s role in the American Revolution to the early engineering marvels that forever changed the landscape to the local figures that made national history.

Once a premier resort destination home to luxury hotels frequented by the wealthy and famous, Lake Hopatcong drew summer visitors from all over the northeast. Peaking with some 40 hotels and two amusement parks, the lake was a major summer destination from the 1880s to the 1930s due to its easy reach from large cities. Join Marty Kane, president of the Lake Hopatcong Historical Museum, to look back at the lasting legacy of the lake’s resort past through the historic photographs and archives that survive today. FREE. Space is limited, pre-registration required. Zoom option available.
