The Thomas Nast Home, also known as Villa Fontana, is a historic house located in Morristown, New Jersey. Built in 1860-1861, this 2 1/2-story wood-frame structure was the residence of renowned political cartoonist Thomas Nast from 1871 until shortly before his death in 1902.
Nast, famous for his caricatures in Harpers Weekly, created iconic images such as Santa Claus, the Democratic Donkey, and the Republican Elephant during his time at the house. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964, the Thomas Nast Home stands as a fine example of Second Empire architecture with many original features preserved from Nast's era.
