Parsippany is a small town in the heart of northern New Jersey. Enjoy the relaxed pace of this quiet spot and explore its historic farm, parks and shops.The town was originally settled by the Lenape Native American tribe. The name Parsippany derives from their word parsipanong, meaning “the place where the river winds through the valley.” Visit one of the town’s 31 parks, such as Cameron Tract or Knoll Park. Take the family to Druid Hill and enjoy the sports fields and playgrounds.

One of Parsippany’s main attractions is Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms. This is the former country estate of Gustav Stickley, a major figure in the Arts and Crafts movement in the late 1890s.
