The Morris Children's Museum was founded in 1913 as a collection of curio cabinets held in the Neighborhood House School in Morristown, New Jersey. In 1922, the Neighborhood House expanded to include an abandoned macaroni factory next to the original school. The Children's Museum continued to grow, eventually taking up two rooms of the factory. In 1938, with approval from the Morristown Board of Education, the museum moved to the Maple Avenue School. The collections of stuffed birds, toys, fossils, and various other articles were housed on the third floor.
