GRAND HOMES & GARDENS:
"Freedom at Home"
March–April, 2026
As a nationally registered historic landmark, Morven Museum & Garden has been a grand home celebrating American and New Jersey history for over 250 years. With a longstanding gardening tradition of our own dating back to a tiered Colonial garden, a 19th Century Greenhouse, and Colonial Revival Garden, we are thrilled to celebrate alongside these significant homes in this annual series.
This signature speaker series takes audiences on a journey through the original 13 colonies, showcasing the residences and landscapes of the Declaration’s signers and telling the stories of the people who lived and worked in these grand spaces: enslaved people, families, and free Black and immigrant servants.
Held in Morven's Stockton Education Center’s Gathering Space in March and April, this unique lecture series brightens up the winter leading to its finale near the first days of spring. Stay tuned for information about next year’s lectures!
