Morris County
These are the 18th and 19th century churches I have photographed. I would appreciate a note calling my attention to others in the county I have not gotten to (and may not know about); if you can include an address of the church, that saves me a substantial amount of driving around.

Churches in boldface are either listed on the National Register or are otherwise of special interest. If the name of the church is in brackets [ ] I am in doubt as to the founding congregation. The Sect is the original religious denomination when the church was built. Fields left blank are those for which I have no solid information.
