Celebrating the Centenary of the Princeton Battle Monument
On June 9, 2022, Morven Museum & Garden commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the unveiling of the Princeton Battle Monument. The unveiling of Frederick MacMonnies’s sculpture in 1922 was a significant local event with national recognition. Bayard Stockton, a Morven resident at the time, served as president of the Battle Monument Commission, and part of the unveiling day activities took place at Morven.
Visitors to Morven can view the Monument, which is a short walk east from the museum.
