Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our country’s founding by touring Morven Museum and Gardens, the original home to Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and later the official residence to five New Jersey governors. A National Historic Landmark, Morven has played a role in history for more than two centuries. Enjoy a docent-led tour of this fascinating museum and, weather permitting, its peaceful garden. See also Morven’s special exhibit opening in April 2026: “Five Independent Souls: The Signers from New Jersey,” which explores the lives of these founding fathers before, during, and after the Revolution. Following lunch at the lovely Seasons 52 in Princeton, take a guided tour of the New Jersey State House in Trenton, including the General Assembly and Senate Chambers, Rotunda, and other significant interior spaces. The tour covers the building’s evolution from its 1792 construction and highlights unique architectural features, portraits of key historical figures, and New Jersey’s role in shaping the nation, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the formation of the U.S. Constitution. Note that there are several staircases at the State House, with limited elevator access if needed. Some Morven galleries are accessible only by a short staircase.
