A member of Morven's team will bring the past to life for attendees with an illustrated presentation.
Morven, known officially as Morven Museum and Garden, is a historic 18th-century house at 55 Stockton Street in Princeton, New Jersey.
Morven served as the governor's mansion for nearly four decades, and is a designated a National Historic Landmark for its association with Richard Stockton (1730-1781), a signer of the U. S. Declaration of Independence.
What do George Washington, Grace Kelly, and Buzz Aldrin have in common? They were all guests at Morven.
Join us for this program to discover what it was like to be a child in a bustling historic home. How did different residents celebrate holidays? What were the names of the dogs and cats that lived at Morven? What did Morven really look like when the Governors called it home?
As Morven celebrates their twentieth anniversary as a museum, they will take this opportunity to dig into their collections and commemorate Morven's unique past.
By showing rarely exhibited objects and newly discovered photographs, that are displayed on the museum’s second floor galleries we will take a thematic look at subjects recognizable to many American families: childhood, hosting guests, pets, fashion, and more.
