Our initial goal was to be “on-line” on our birthday (April 14, 2002). We hired a local 14-year old computer wiz with his own web design business (Dark Horse Networks) to take the ideas we had and create a site. We hope to make the site as informative as possible and enjoyable to use. In our first year, 3,569 “unique” visitors visited our site. The website was the source for information about our Bicentennial Events and helped turn out over 4,000 people for our Hot Air Balloon Festival.

    As a special note, our welcome page and page header contain a line drawing by National Road artists, Vicky Burton, depicting the actual streetscape as one looks west along Main Street. A black and white version of this same drawing was used to produce a special U.S. Postal Service cancellation stamp to celebrate Morristown’s Bicentennial. Putting Historic Morristown on the World Wide Web, the information highway, shows that THIS National Road Town, after 200 years, is still on the road to the future.
