Overhead Sidewalks and Downtown Morristown


Visit Historic Downtown Main Street for beautiful architecture, great shopping, tasty restaurants, and our unique overhead sidewalks.  Completed in 1969, the downtown "SkyMart" was an ambitious urban renewal project that added a second, overhead sidewalk to Morristown's Main Street. The sidewalks have recently been renovated and serve as a unique venue for downtown's festivals and events.
