PBS series “Travels with Darley” spotlights Morris County
Episode Premieres at Morris Museum Screening on Feb. 18
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ – The public is invited to attend a premiere screening of the PBS series “Travels with Darley” at the Morris Museum on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 2:00 p.m. involving three new episodes focusing on New Jersey American Revolution sites, including one in Morris County.
“Revolutionary Road Trips” debuts this winter in the Emmy Award-nominated “Travels with Darley” series on NJ PBS and nationwide.
Tickets for the event can be purchased online through the Morris Museum website.
This event is presented in partnership with Morris County Economic Development Alliance and Tourism Bureaus’ 250th Anniversary Committee. Members of this committee include Morris County Commissioner Deputy Director Stephen Shaw and Director Christine Myers, who will provide opening remarks at the screening. Former Commissioner Director John Krickus was interviewed by show host, Darley Newman, when filming took place in Morristown over the summer 2023 and is expected to appear in the episode.
From Botswana to Belgium to Bowling Green, Kentucky, Newman has been traveling the world for the last 15 years, showcasing lesser-known destinations that travelers can experience. The new season spotlights many key destinations in three half hour episodes on New Jersey, the Crossroads of the American Revolution. Site locations include Morristown, Morris County, Monmouth Battlefield, Somerset, Middlesex Counties, Trenton, Washington Crossing and Princeton.
Through the never-before-seen content, attendees will experience places in New Jersey where colonial history comes to life. Attendees will learn about historic pubs, restaurants and homes George Washington and Alexander Hamilton visited, as well as key battlefields, parks, museums and encampment sites. Darley will also share local spots where you can taste history through unique New Jersey products like Revolutionary Beer and Laird’s Applejack, America’s oldest family of distillers.
The screenings of the new episodes from the long-running PBS series will be followed by a Q&A discussion. Audience members will learn more about hidden gems that they can visit in New Jersey and go behind the scenes on the filming with PBS television host and travel expert Darley Newman. Tom Loughman, Morris Museum’s Executive Director, Craig Schlosser, President & CEO of the Morris County Economic Development Alliance (MCEDAlliance) & Morris County Tourism Bureau (MCTB) and other key experts will also participate in the discussion.
This event is being supported by Morris Museum, the MCEDAlliance and Tourism Bureau’s 250th and Film Committees, and the American Battlefield Trust, among other partners.
