There is a small Morristown airport, but it services private jets only.
Car is a good bet and generally the parking isn't especially miserable though on-street parking is often metered. Navigating the green can be a bit of a headache at times and depending on where you want to go, but it's nothing to lose sleep over. A range of exits off of highway 287 allow quick and easy access to different parts of the city.
The Morristown train station is generally well serviced by NJ Transit, where one can commute between New York City Penn Station in about an hour. http://www.njtransit.com/

Most places in the heart of the city (the green) are easily accessible by walking. If you arrive by train you'll probably have to call for a taxi for going anywhere beyond the immediate area. Walking will serve you well otherwise. You can call ahead for a taxi 973-647-0973 [wiki=0d5f1e731dd0b0fadc70ac8eaec20041]url=http://ericstaxi.com/[/wiki],]973-998-8863 [[url=http://www.newdimensionlimo.com/morristown.html[/url]]]or for a car service [url=http://www.TransportationReservation.com[/url]]
If you do want to take transit, the #871, #872, #873, #874, & #875 run by NJ Transit offer some service to the surrounding areas, though it runs rather infrequently.
Parking can be tricky:
The Morristown Parking Authority manages more than 3,200 public parking spaces. For day rates and permit information call (973) 539-4810
The Headquarters Plaza Parking Lot has more than 2000 spaces available and can be accessible from the streets as indicated on the map. The lot is managed by Central Parking System.
The Epstein's Parking Lots are available for public parking. The three lots are accessible as indicated on the map. [http://www.morristown-nj.org/parkmap.html[/url]

Morristown National Historical Park
For two critical winters of the American Revolution, 1777 and 1779-80, General George Washington chose the Morristown, New Jersey area as the main Continental Army's winter encampment. Because of its strategic location, the area continually served as the military capital throughout the war. During the 1779-1780 Jockey Hollow encampment, over 10,000 soldiers endured the war's most severe winter.
Morristown National Historical Park was established in 1933 to preserve and commemorate the story of the Continental Army struggling to survive during the American Revolution. The park consists of four non-contiguous units including the Washington's Headquarters unit, Fort Nonsense, Jockey Hollow, and the New Jersey Brigade area. The park features two original structures, Washington's Headquarters at the Ford Mansion and the Wick House in Jockey Hollow.
