In this second installment, we head to Historic Speedwell—birthplace of the telegraph and one of Morris County’s most treasured landmarks—to uncover the stories, people, and innovations that helped fuel America’s Industrial Revolution.
Filmed inside the beautifully preserved Vail House, we sit down with Melanie Bump, Curator of Collections and Exhibits for the Morris County Park Commission. Melanie takes us behind the scenes of this extraordinary site—spotlighting Stephen Vail’s legacy, the breakthroughs born right here in Morristown, and why Speedwell still matters today.
If you’re into local history, great storytelling, and exploring the places that helped shape our nation, you’re exactly where you should be.
Subscribe and come along as we travel through all 39 parks of the Morris County Park Commission.
