The document outlines plans for a new museum in Morristown, NJ that will highlight historical sites and events from the Revolutionary War period. It will be built on a recently demolished site in the heart of Morristown and measure approximately 362' x 83.33'. The six floor museum will include exhibits on George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, Fort Nonsense and a powder mill, the Ford Mansion, Jockey Hollow, and the Battle of Trenton, as well as an auditorium, lobby, gift shop, and interactive children's area. Sustainability was a goal in designing the primarily glass building.
