More than 300 years of history are explored in the Morris Plains Borough Museum. Its collection includes historic photographs, maps, postcards, clothing, artifacts and artwork. Among the Museum's most prized possessions are a squirrel-tail-style fire pump, used by the borough's first fire department.
The Morris Plains Museum's stated mission is to "connect the past to the present and make Morris Plains's vibrant history tangible, relevant and meaningful for today's community and for generations to come."
The Morris Plains Museum dates back to 1974. It has been in its present location since 2005.
