Welcome to the Morristown Gateway Museum Official WebsiteWe began the Gateway Museum to discover, preserve, and tell the stories of the facinating people who have made Morristown home and that mission continues to this day. With the addition of The Red Barn Preserve, we also preserve and open our natural wetlands to you for accessible, family-friendly hikes
and learning opportunities. |

We hope you enjoy your visit to one or both of our locations as much as we enjoy hosting you! We are located at the Gateway to the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River, a unique geological area with more than 1,800 islands. Our waterways have shaped the lives of Morristown citizens since before we became a town more than 200 years ago. Come enjoy our community, the St. Lawrence with its deep and clear water; Black Lake, a world-renowned fishing paradise, and our natural wetlands with their native wildlife at the Red Barn Preserve.

We are honored to have three teens from Morristown Central School on our Junior Board of Directors. They are full of ideas and energy and you'll see and hear from them, soon!
Heuvelton Central School District brought several teens to the Red Barn Preserve and the Gateway Museum for a field trip. Some of their photos are attached above. We've been happy to host multiple school outings to help educate and expose young minds to the history and beauty of our area! The 6th Grade class from Ogdensburg explored the Red Barn Preserve in early June 2020. Attached is a sample of their remarkable photo essays. |
In December, we help Morristown Promotions bring River Lights to our waterfront in Bayside Park. It is a unique and delightful experience for families and friends from the North Country. We look forward to new lights and activities each year! |

Maintaining our trails so that they are accessible to people of all ages and levels of mobility is a community-wide task at the Gateway Museum's Red Barn Preserve. We have over 3 miles of trails suitable for toddlers and grandmothers in their 90's. Our volunteers work hard to keep our trails in pristine condition. One Saturday in mid-September, more than 40 volunteers came out to lend a hand. Thank you! |
