Guest Attraction: Friends of Jockey Hollow present Rick Atkinson on the War for America, Morristown & Jockey Hollow, 1777 – 1780
Join us for a family friendly evening with Best-Selling and Pulitzer-Prize Winning Author and Military Historian, Rick Atkinson, presented by Friends of Jockey Hollow.
Rick Atkinson, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the Revolution Trilogy, comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. to talk about the war years that played out right here in Morristown and Jockey Hollow. His second volume, “The Fate of the Day,” covers exactly that stretch of the Revolution, 1777 to 1780, so this is about as locally relevant as a history lecture gets. Tickets are free, the event is family friendly, and it’s presented by Friends of Jockey Hollow. For anything else you need before you go, the Mayo PAC listing has the details.
