MORRISTOWN, NJ - The Morris County Park Commission, in cooperation with Historical Society of Boonton Township, the New Jersey Revolution Round Table, and Protect Our Wetlands, Water, and Woods (POWWW), present a hiking event to the Hogs’ Pen Rocks in Denville, part of the Jonathan’s Woods County Preserve. This FREE moderate hike that takes place, rain or shine, on Saturday, October 31 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. includes a discussion of the historic significance of the area, nature tours, marshmallow roasting, and hot dogs. It is recommended that participants bring their own water.

The event begins on Miller Drive in Boonton Township and proceeds to this historic area guided by trained naturalists. The Hog-Pen Rocks site is a natural enclosure of towering rocks where locals brought their livestock to protect them from the enemy during the Revolutionary War in 1780.
