Always a delightful place to visit with a lot of rich history. It's on the National Historic Landmark list and was home to Richard Stockton, one of Declaration of Independence signers and once was the NJ Governor's homes. There are always standing displays in the home and displays that change such as the Striking Beauty: NJ Tall Case Clocks: 1730-1830, the current temporary exhibit that I visited most recently. NJ has such quite a history with a number of clock makers who resided here and made such beautiful time pieces. Christmas is also a nice time to visit to see the annual Festival of Trees. Many more events are held here throughout the year. It truly is a year round place to visit with much to offer. They also have a small gift shop on the premises with lovely items to purchase.

The museum's thorough and knowledgeable docent gave us an extraordinary tour of the museum, and he hung around in case we had questions afterwards. Very interesting for we gone with beautiful gardens.

This is one of the best-kept secrets in Princeton. My wife and I loved exploring this old mansion turned into a wonderful museum, with its rich history as a former governor's mansion and formerly owned by Declaration of Independence signer - Richard Stockton. This is not just a must-visit for local classroom history classes but for anyone interested in New Jersey historical events. The employees here could not have been more helpful and kind, including the gardener who helped us understand the local foliage. Don't miss this little gem of a museum.

The people who lived at Morven over the years have so many interesting stories, from the original owners to the governors. Walking through the museum is a walk through time. Whether you are from the area or not, I recommend a visit. Be prepared to read if you want to fully understand the individuals associated with Morven. The museum is mostly handicap accessible, though some areas are not manageable for wheelchairs. There is an elevator. Parking is on the premises. The gardens are lovely and worth a walk through. The price of admission is fair. We spent two hours there.

We love places like this. A historically significant home with owners that have made a contribution to the history of our country. This one is no different. The home and property was turned into a museum to share the story of the beginning of our country and the governors of New Jersey.
The property is nice and has some gardens there. The gardens could be better maintained. The house itself is where the museum is. The one thing I found myself thinking as I went through was I wish they would have had mini displays and pictures of how the rooms were used originally. The house had been added in to over tons abs it would have been nice to see how it may have been used. Especially because many families lived there. That would be really interesting for them to represent the different periods and families.
The displays were wonderfully informative and the highlighted a few let people. Again, they left us hanging! Specifically , they mention a slave named Marcus who seemed fascinating. Yet after a short introduction they didn’t say anything else. That seems to be resisted throughout the museum.
Some suggestions... the museum seems to have handicap accessibility as an after thought. There is a small elevator that goes up one floor but if you want to see the rest you need to navigate the stairs. I have a walker and it was a challenge. Also, the museum is a fairly extensive size, with plenty of room, yet there is not one bench throughout where someone could sit for a few minutes. That was disappointing and reduced the amount of time I could stay there.
There are other buildings on the property that would be be nice to see them utilized. The one other stop was the gift shop. The lady in there was so kind! The gift shop is very small and had a small variety of things related to the property. I wish they had more of a variety but we had two nice conversations with the woman who worked there.

Very small museum. But very nice. Only got to see the permanent exhibit on the first floor because they were changing exhibits on the second.

I have visited Morven several times to take in one of their special exhibits. On my most recent exhibit it was to see the Baseball in New Jersey special exhibit and it was wonderful!
The real test of a museum exhibit is: "did you learn something?" My friend and I both learned a great deal about the early days of baseball in the state such as:
*Baseball was played in NJ before the
Civil War.
*There were African American baseball
teams in many cities in the state in
beginning in 1855 in Newark (photo)
*There was a ladies baseball team, the
"Bloomer Girls," who toured the state
in the 1890s playing exhibition
games (see photo).
*Back in the early days the rules of the
game were quite different than today
(see photo).
This exhibit was very well organized and the explanatory cards for each item were outstanding. It was not a large exhibit, but it was "mighty" good!

Enjoyed the tea and the historical information. Wish the home was more historically decorated and the gardens a bit more manicured. Guides and tea preparers were excellent!

What would be appropriate dress for the tea at the end of October? My friends and I have a difference of opinion. Thank you.

I do not think one needs to be fancy. I would be most prepared for possible cool weather (40-50F), and perhaps precipitation.
