Post Office Oak and Museum
This 300-year-old bur oak (just the trunk remains) served as the unofficial post office for travelers on the Santa Fe Trail from 1825-1847. Passing caravans could leave messages for future travelers in a cache in the base of the tree. A stone building erected in 1864 next to the tree houses a museum, operated by the Morris County Historical Society. Open Sunday afternoons in summer and by appointment.
