The Morris County Pathways of History weekend occurs the first weekend of May and the first weekend of October. We are usually open only one day of the weekend at this time. Each year and Spring and Fall will differ. The days are set by the County Historical Society. Please see our Facebook Group page for regular updates.
​
For this event, we typically open the Henry Doremus Dutch Stone House Museum, 490 Main Road, Towaco from Noon until 5 PM. Many docents dress in period costume, Colonial. In the future, we may also open the Schoolhouse Museum.
​
The day consists of docent led tours and other planned activities which vary by opening and may include; additional 18th century artifacts, archeological finds from previous archeological digs on the property, jamless fireplace discussions, and more.

Hope to see you there in the future. Again, keep an eye on our Facebook Group and on our website for future announcements.

Colonial Food and Drink
During our December 2024 regular membership meeting we held a dual meeting / Holiday party centered around Colonial Food and Drink. Trustees dressed in period costume while the President gave an inspiring talk on Colonial Taverns, food staples and drink of the day. It was followed by Colonial recipes prepared by several volunteers. A good time was had by all!!
