Every year, in honor of Independence Day, Morven hosts a free event to celebrate our American heritage at the home-turned-museum of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

This year’s celebration will be different, but, we hope, just as meaningful.

To celebrate our first in-person celebration in several years, we are taking a swing to the 1960's in celebration of our current exhibition: Ma Bell: The Mother of Invention in New Jersey which features the original TelStar satellite and so many other innovations and technology made right in New Jersey that affected the entire world for generations.

Our noon to 3:00pm celebration will feature the Arts Council of Princeton providing Jasper Johns American Flag activity, the Historical Society of Princeton with a meaningful 1960's Princeton adventure activity, family tickets for $25 to view inside the museum, live dancing in the gardens with the Luminarium Dance Group, live music from the 1960s and beyond including the hit "TelStar" with the Green Planet Band. There will be fun and activities for everyone , our historic gardens are open, and food trucks including KonaIce and PotatoPatoto ! Sponsored by Honda of Princeton.

Additional details will be forthcoming! For details as it gets closer check in with Morven's Museum Shop!
