Morris County Park Commission maintains a multiuse trail known as Patriots’ Path, which parallels the Raritan River’s North Branch throughout Mendham, NJ, past the older fishing hole that locals call the Mud Hole.

​​​​​​​With its ball fields and gazebo, Borough Park is the site of the January bonfire and the Labor Day carnival. Behind Kings grocery, you’ll find the Mendham Health and Racquet Club.

Hilltop Church

Built in 1745, Hilltop Church was the first Presbyterian congregation in town. During the Revolutionary War in 1777, the American Army and General George Washington were settled in nearby Morristown and used this church as a hospital when the soldiers became sick with smallpox.

​​​​​​​Since then, a few buildings have replaced the original, and the one that stands today on Hilltop Road was established in 1860.

The Commute

Although a lot of residents drive to adjoining communities to headquarters of organizations like Verizon and Merck, some take the Midtown Direct train to New York from Morristown, which, depending on traffic, is around 15 minutes away. The ride to Penn Station takes about 60 to 75 minutes.

​​​​​​​While parking in Morristown is quite plentiful, the prices vary widely based on which facility you choose. When traffic is light, the 38-mile drive to Manhattan takes about an hour via Route 78.
