New to First Night Morris County is a historical programming element in honor of the upcoming 250th Anniversary celebration of America’s independence. Attendees will enjoy guided tours as they go back in time to the Revolutionary days and meet famous historical figures who were regulars, such as Alexander Hamilton, Elizabeth Schuler and Morristown’s first doctor, Jabez Campbell. Learn how they lived by visiting the famed Schuyler Hamilton House located on Olyphant Place, where you also will discover more about the encampments of General George Washington and the Continental Army, the growth of Morristown and the growth of our country.
“Our 250th is a great opportunity for our county. We invite everyone who wants to learn about the American Revolution to visit, explore, enjoy and learn how Morris County played a major role in establishing the best country the world,” said Morris County Commissioner Director Christine Myers.
New offerings include Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre, singer/songwriter Megan Chappius and Gabrile Gonzales, and New Jersey favorite Grover Kemble with vocalist/guitarist Bob Marks. At MPAC, catch The Outcrops, a quartet led by lead singer Cassidy Rain and lead guitarist Bryan Schroeder, and stay for The B-Street Band, the longest running Bruce Springsteen tribute band. The group has been a favorite in the tristate region for more than four decades.
Another new site is Macculloch Hall which will feature three venues including a Thomas Nast Exhibit, a Children’s Seasonal Craft Activity and The Dolce Trio, celebrating their 30th anniversary as they perform music of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Our own Dr. Lynn Siebert will play violin joined by flutist/recorder player Kris Lamb and cellist Loni Bach.
