MORVEN MUSEUM & GARDEN

This beautiful and pristine white historic house was built in the 1750s by Richard Stockton, one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence. Morven remained in the Stockton family until 1944, when the Governor of New Jersey acquired it, before donating it to the state, which turned it into a museum in 1982. The ground floor houses the permanent collection, which features period furniture, portraits and objects on loan from the Princeton University Art Museum, providing an insight into the daily lives of the Stocktons and the Governor of New Jersey. On the first floor are five galleries that host temporary exhibitions. After visiting the house, a walk in the gardens is a must.
