Historic Morven:

A Window Into America’s Past

As the home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence and five New Jersey governors, Morven has played a role in the history of New Jersey and the nation for more than 200 years. Morven’s history is America’s history, and we welcome you to experience it through the lens of this National Historic Landmark.

Morven Revealed: Untold Stories from New Jersey’s Most Historic Home

As 2024 marked our twentieth anniversary as a museum we took the opportunity to dig into our collections to share some of Morven's lesser-known stories. What do we uncover when we consider the everyday moments that made Morven a home for over two hundred years?

Northern Family, Southern Ties

Curators are researching the complex connections between northern and southern families, and the interstate movement of enslaved people unveiling a story stretching from the late eighteenth century through the Civil War. This  exhibit demonstrates how regional differences were not always as cleanly drawn as they may have been portrayed.

Festival of Trees

Morven’s signature holiday tradition returns for its 20th season. This beloved community event features inspired holiday trees and mantels throughout the museum galleries, creating a magical experience for the whole family. This milestone year not only celebrates the festival’s rich legacy—it also launches Morven’s role in commemorating America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
