Macculloch Hall Historical Museum’s 2026 Historic District House Tour opens seven private homes in Morristown’s Historic District on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The self-guided walking tour starts at the museum at 45 Macculloch Avenue, and advance tickets are $75.
The tour only happens once every two years, and it is the museum’s largest fundraiser. Organizers say it tends to sell out, so if this is on your fall list, we would not wait until the morning of.
What’s on the 2026 Tour
This year’s lineup includes seven private residences, a featured garden, the historic Kellogg Club and Macculloch Hall itself, the 216-year-old Macculloch family home that now houses the museum. Homes on this year’s tour include properties on Miller Road and Farragut Place, all within walking distance of the museum.
The district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the architecture runs more than two centuries, from Georgian and Classical designs to Queen Anne Victorians. For most of the year these are doors you only walk past. This is the one afternoon you get to go inside.
New for 2026, ticket holders also get special access to the Morristown Club, which the museum describes as New Jersey’s oldest private social club, for a light luncheon with beverages available for purchase.
How the Day Works
- Start at Macculloch Hall: check in at 45 Macculloch Avenue, pick up your guidebook, and explore the museum’s galleries and gardens.
- Go at your own pace: visit the featured properties in any order you like. Everything is walkable from the museum.
- Rain or shine: the tour runs regardless of weather, so bring an umbrella and comfortable shoes.
Tickets and Prices
Advance tickets are $75 through the museum’s House Tour registration page. Tickets on the day of the tour are $85 at the door, subject to availability. Tickets are non-refundable, and proceeds support the upkeep of the house and gardens, the museum’s collections, and its year-round education programs.
Can’t make it? The museum is also accepting donations and Friend of the House Tour gifts on its donation page.
Parking
Limited two-hour parking is available along Macculloch Avenue. For longer visits, plan on a Morristown Parking Authority garage or lot downtown and walk over. The museum is a short stroll from the Morristown Green.
Make a Weekend of It
The house tour lands the same weekend as Pathways of History 2026, when dozens of Morris County historic sites open for free on October 3 and 4. If old houses are your thing, our guide to the best museums in Morris County and our look at Mount Tabor’s Victorian cottage village in Parsippany are good next stops.
