The Morris County Tourism Bureau is celebrating National Tourism Week by launching a free, digital walking tour app and a new video welcoming visitors back to the area.
The short video salute features several local business owners who are open and ready to get back to pre-COVID-19 levels of service. They include museums, attractions and restaurants who are expanding days and hours of operation and offering special meals and deals.
You can view the Morris County Tourism Bureau’s “We’re Open for Business” video on YouTube.
The Bureau also has released its new digital walking tour app which is available wherever you get your apps. The app, called “Morristown Walking Tour and Beyond,” provides information, photos and audio clips for 27 historic sites within downtown Morristown and in the County of Morris. The app is free. You can also view the app in your browser.

According to recent projections, when people plan post-pandemic vacations, they will travel domestically, stay close to home, and drive to their destination. The new app will serve this market in 2021. It is self-guided, you can begin and end as you like, and have a wealth of information about each site at your fingertips.
Within the app, links are provided for additional in-depth information.

The stops on the app will keep a family busy for a long weekend stay in Morris County. For those who want to learn about Morris County from a comfortable armchair, the app is good for that, too!
The app was developed by a destination software company called STQRY. The tour was partially underwritten through the generosity of three sponsors: Atlantic Health System, the Morristown and Morris Township Library and the Morris County Historical Society at Acorn Hall.
