Great experience. The museum team was very polite. We were there during their Festival of Trees, it was nice.
Historic non profit organization outside of Princeton. Rich in history of the area dating way back when this was a sitting governor's home. The tour is well organized and the guides are very good.
It was a lovely Autumn day so we decided to finally visit Morven, the original home of some of New Jersey's earlier Governors. Overall, it was an interesting place to see and walk through, but it could be so much better. We had the unfortunate luck of arriving on a day when there weren't any volunteer docents, so we had to walk through without the benefit of any knowledgeable guidance. Which caused me to wonder why, in this day and age, there weren't any 'self-guided audio tours' offered; Morven literally calls out for such tours! The exhibits were basically well-laid out and the 'special exhibit' currently being shown is a display of Grandfather Clocks from 1730-1830. They were beautiful and some of them were still working! The gardens were peaceful and reflective.
There is ample parking.
Morven is worth a visit but I can't help but think of what it COULD be.
Great place to visit I. Princeton, they have a fantastic grand father clock show there! You can hear the old clocks chime. The history of the house is cool as well and they have a detailed tour, which was fun.
Very cool, sort of tucked away experience. We went for the Christmas tree and mantle contest, and those were awesome. We went to learn about NJ communications and Mama Bell as an afterthought, but it turned out to be a far more entertaining and interesting experience than we previously thought. Staff is super friendly.
In between exhibits so we only saw one floor but interesting exhibit on governors residence on a house tracing back to a signor of the Declaration of Independence. A beautiful property in town.
If you want to show your kids what a pay phone looks like, definitely come here. There is a lot of information displayed at this Museum and a lot of historical documentation about the Morven House. The gift shop is cute. I went to the Drumthwacket Tour and received a $1 off coupon. Entry was $9.
Always nice staff. Great exhibits, currently over 50 Tall case clocks, all made in New Jersey. We also saw their annual Festval of Trees, which is always beautiful and designed by local garden clubs.
Quick family visit to the Festival of Trees. Everyone enjoyed the themed trees and mantle displays and the museum’s regular exhibits as well. Definitely visit and don’t be afraid to bring the teens.
Went there mostly for the Festival of Christmas trees, having been there before for the Lindberg exhibit a few years ago. The trees and fire place decorations were a terrific contribution to the Holiday season and exhibited the skills and …
