Macculloch Hall Historical Museum
45 Macculloch Avenue, Morristown, NJ 07960

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum (MHHM) welcomes people of all ages and learning styles to experience everyday American history where it happened. Built between 1810 and 1819 by George and Louisa Macculloch, the house remained in family ownership until 1949, when W. Parsons Todd (1877–1976) preserved it as a public museum. Today, MHHM anchors Morristown’s landmarked Historic District and serves as a cultural and educational hub for the community.
Known as “Morristown’s Community Museum,” MHHM preserves and interprets its historic house, two-acre gardens, the nation’s largest single collection of works by political cartoonist Thomas Nast (1840–1902), fine and decorative arts, and the Macculloch family archives. Through innovative exhibitions, educational programs, and community partnerships, MHHM has transformed the traditional historic house museum experience into a dynamic exploration of New Jersey’s history through art, music, literature, storytelling, foodways, and horticulture. Its historic setting, period rooms, and professional galleries inspire visitors of all ages to discover meaningful connections between the past and the present.
