Morven Museum & Garden

Went there with a friend for a tea party and learned more about history and Jersey than I knew. Plus the gardens were beautiful!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

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.

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.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$6–10

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.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

Great experience. The museum team was very polite. We were there during their Festival of Trees, it was nice.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10

A elegant museum and a cute garden. It is a great place for enjoying a few hours of peace and calm. The drawback is very limited parking. Even neighboring Princeton battle monument park has limited parking space. Luckily across the front entrance is the free guest parking of Princeton University. No parking issue ever exists there.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Morven is always a great place to visit in any season. We had a great time at their annual 4th of July Jubilee. The house tour provides a new look at our past with seasonal exhibits that engage, inform and surprise.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Morven Museum is a beautiful spot. I came for the Roosevelt exhibit and was very impressed. It's really great to dive deeper into our local history... makes you appreciate your surroundings much more. I collect pins and was happy to see a pin honoring their festival of trees. Easy to find. They have on site parking, but we parked in Palmer Square and enjoyed a nice walk over.

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.Visited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$6–10

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.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$6–10
