Get ready for two family-friendly weekends filled
with fun events focusing on water's importance!
Morris Museum and the Great Swamp Watershed
Association (GSWA) are excited to
host Water Workshop Weekends taking place on July 7, 8, and 15.
These weekends mark the new partnership between the Museum and
GSWA.
Water Workshop Weekends kick off on Friday, July 7,
with the critically acclaimed and star-filled movie Dark Waters,
which will be shown in the Museum’s Bickford Theatre, followed by a
panel discussion about PFAS chemicals. The film tells the shocking
and heroic true story of an attorney, Rob Bilott, portrayed by Mark
Ruffalo, who risks his career and family to uncover a dark secret
hidden by one of the world’s largest corporations. He seeks to
bring justice to a community that has been dangerously exposed to
toxic chemicals for decades. Following the film will be a lively
discussion inspired by the movie and this timely topic. The panel
will include Sandra Lavigne, GSWA Director of Water Quality
Monitoring; and Laura Norkute, New Jersey American Water Director
of Water Quality and Environmental Compliance.
On Saturday, July 8, the Museum will host a family
fun day with activities from GSWA and the Morris Museum. There will
be two special screenings of the Smithsonian movie, Age of Humans: Water, at
11:30 AM and 1:00 PM. This film reveals how humans have impacted
the Earth’s water, and details what we can do to change the path of
our future. The day includes several thought-provoking activities
from the GSWA and the Morris Museum; highlights include Spark!Lab’s
“Help Clean Up the Ocean,” the game, “A Day in the Life of a Drop
of Water”, the “Water-Match Challenge”, and a watercolor activity.
This event is free for Morris Museum and GSWA Members.
The fun continues the following weekend on Saturday,
July 15, at GSWA’s Conservation
Management Area (CMA) on Tiger Lily Lane in Harding, where visitors
will participate in hikes, family-friendly activities, and nature
crafts. This is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the 16th year of
the City of Water Day, which builds awareness and reaches
towards the goal of a climate-resilient New York and New Jersey
harbor. This event is free for Morris Museum and GSWA Members.

Spark!Lab
Where Everyone Is an Inventor
Excite your mind this May with Spark!Lab, whether it be a
long weekend, school closures, or a family day. We offer many unique,
project-specific stations, where young inventors can engage directly
with engineering and design challenges. Open Wednesday through
Sunday from noon to 4 PM. Timed tickets are available at the front desk
for any child (ages 5-12) and accompanying adult.
Spark!Lab at the Morris Museum is made possible by
