This is amazing! Our partners at 250th Anniversary of the Revolution: Morris County have created a Traveling Mural, and they want YOUR help painting it. COME JOIN IN at The Fishawack Festival this Saturday, June 6th, 2026 from 10 am to 1 pm.

Created by artist Dan Fenelon, the Morris County 250th Traveling Mural is a vibrant visual celebration of the last 250 years of Morris County history. Spanning from the Revolutionary War era to present-day Morris County, the mural highlights the people, places, industries, landmarks, traditions, and defining moments that helped shape both our county and our country.

The mural features scenes inspired by Washington’s Headquarters and Jockey Hollow, early colonial life, agriculture, iron mining, railroads, local arts and culture, innovation, open space, recreation, and the strong sense of community that continues to define Morris County today.

As the mural travels throughout Morris County, residents and visitors of all ages will have the opportunity to help paint sections of the piece themselves — forever leaving their mark on this special Morris County 250th creation commemorating America’s 250th Anniversary. With each stop, the mural will continue to grow through community participation, becoming a living reflection of Morris County itself.
