Fall back in time and celebrate the harvest with music and activities for the whole family at Morven.

We are pleased to announce our 2023 Harvest Festival in partnership with the Guild for Early Music. This festive program will feature ensembles and musicians performing music of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Early American eras. Experience historic music celebrating the autumn harvest with performances scheduled throughout the day.

Attendees can visit Morven’s gardens to help harvest vegetables and take part in hands-on activities including “spooky season” crafts, and an instrument “Petting Zoo” with the Guild for Early Music. Dress in your Halloween costume to enter to win special prizes!

The museum will be open for paid admission to explore our newest exhibition, Striking Beauty: New Jersey Tall Case Clocks, 1730 - 1830. Food and hot beverages will be available for purchase.

Pre-register for this free event.

This program is shine-only. We will cancel in the event of inclement weather.

About the Guild for Early Music

The Guild for Early Music (www.guildforearlymusic.org) was founded in 2004 as a consortium of early music ensembles and musicians. The mission of the Guild is to promote music of the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Early American eras by fostering in the community knowledge and appreciation of music of these historical periods and facilitating cooperation and providing resources for professional and amateur performing ensembles and musicians. The Guild for Early Music became a 501(c)(3) corporation in July 2009.

Guild member ensembles include professional musicians, semi-professionals, and amateurs in the Central New Jersey and Eastern Central Pennsylvania areas, including Mercer County, NJ and Bucks County, PA. They welcome enthusiasts and visitors from all over.
