A National Park Celebration Through Photography
June 4 - July 31, 2022 |
Morristown National Historical Park ("MNHP") celebrates its
90th anniversary in 2023. This historic milestone presents an
opportunity for MNHP – the nation’s first designated historical park – to
reintroduce itself to the rapidly changing global and statewide communities it
serves in the 21st century.
To lead the commemoration
period beginning in 2022, the National Park Service commissioned the nationally
recognized New York artist, musician, and author Xiomaro (pronounced See-oh-ma-ro) to create fine art
photographs of the park’s key features: the Ford Mansion, Jockey Hollow,
and the Cross Estate Mansion/New Jersey Bridge area.
