In honor of Independence Day, Morven Museum & Garden will host its annual July 4th Jubilee from noon to 3 pm. This event celebrating our American heritage is at the home-turned-museum of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Live music will be provided by Ocean Country Band, and refreshments will be available by Oink and Moo BBQ. Visitors are invited to participate in colonial life activities, sign the Declaration of Independence and meet Benjamin Franklin as he strolls the museum and grounds. There will be demonstrations of early American domestic life including bread baking, ice cream making, paper making and more. There will also be a dramatic presentation highlighting the importance of tea in colonial times by Stacy Flora Roth.
Admission to the July 4th Jubiliee is free. Guests are invited to use the Princeton Theological Seminary or Monument Hall parking lots. There is also parking on the street, however, there will not be parking at Morven since so many children will be on the grounds. Due to the outdoors activities, this event will be cancelled if there is prolonged rain. Morven is located at 55 Stockton Street in Princeton. Click here for directions.
Morven's newest exhibit is Of the Best Materials and Good Workmanship: 19th Century New Jersey Chairmaking, which runs through October 18, 2015. The admission fee for the exhibit is $6, $5 for seniors and students.
