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.

Our second annual Community Art Festival was a huge success! The highlight was the dedication ceremony for Lorraine and Allan Bogardus and for Jane Martinovich who gave us the gifts of the Red Barn Preserve and the renovation of the farm house. We are deeply grateful for their generous and visionary contributions. Thank you to our artists: Madeline Brown, Melanie Connor, Mary Ann Evans, Ann French, Deb Monteith, Jack Taylor, Pam Winchester and Laura Yehle. Thank you to the Noncommittal Band and to City Dawgz for feeding the crowd well. These photos were taken by students from Morristown Central School. Thank you to these budding photo journalists! |
In December, we helped Morristown Promotions bring River Lights to our waterfront in Bayside Park. It was a unique and delightful experience for families and friends from the North Country. We look forward to new lights and activities next 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!

In the News3/20: Blue Herons have been sighted on their nests at the Red Barn Preserve.
![]() The Great Blue Herons ReturnOn Friday March 19, three Blue Herons were spotted at the Red Barn Preserve in the Rookery. This is exactly - to the day – the-date-they returned last year. Since then more have followed and I would estimate at least 20 are currently in the nests.
Typically the males arrive first and select a nest. The females follow later and choose a mate. They lay eggs, raise their young and are gone from the Rookery by early July. It’s a great time to visit the Red Barn Preserve to observe these birds. You will need binoculars, cameras, warm apparel, and appropriate shoes. READ MORE |
