LEGO history event spotlights Morristown’s Revolutionary roots

A sold-out family workshop at a local hotel used more than 100,000 LEGO bricks to recreate Morristown’s historic streets and landmarks. Fifty teams of builders assembled detailed models of key Revolutionary War sites, then placed them on a giant map of town for a dramatic aerial-style view of Morristown’s past. citeturn1search8

The program was part of the county’s ongoing 250th anniversary observance of the American Revolution. Local officials say events like this are meant to make Morristown’s role in the war feel tangible for kids and parents, not just something in textbooks. citeturn1search8
