Morven Memories
As Morven Museum & Garden prepares to reinstall its permanent collections for the first time since it opened 2004, the museum seeks oral histories and anecdotes from former residents, guests, employees, and community.
“We have been collecting oral histories and antidotes from former residents and guests and suspect that there are more people out there with wonderful information we want to document,” says Jill Barry, Morven’s executive director. “As time passes, we risk losing these valuable stories that will enhance our visitor’s imagination about what it was like to live or work here when Morven was a private residence.”
People with stories, photographs, or memorabilia from the time when Robert Wood Johnson lived at Morven (1928-1944) or during the governors’ era at Morven (1945-1982) may contact Morven at 609-924-8144 or e-mail info@morven.org.
