State-ly Homes: Exploring U.S. Governors’ Mansions and Gardens

Homes to generations of state leaders and their families, Governors’ mansions have been staples of the American landscape since the country’s founding. From refurbished sites of historical significance to bespoke masterpieces, the grand homes and gardens of U.S. Governors offer a unique glimpse into how architecture, interior design, and landscapes can serve a civic purpose. Join Morven, New Jersey’s first Governors’ Mansion, as we explore four current U.S. Governors’ mansions, learning from experts about how these spaces were created to embody the state and the people they seek to represent.

Refreshments inspired by each state will be served. Programs are hybrid, offered both in-person and virtually.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsors! The 2024 series sponsor is Bryn Mawr Trust. Individual program sponsors are Mrs. G Appliances, Erin Forrey Design, Keller Williams Princeton Realty, and Courtney Lederer and Mark Thierfelder.
