  • The museum's thorough and knowledgeable docent gave us an extraordinary tour of the museum, and he hung around in case we had questions afterwards. Very interesting for we gone with beautiful gardens.

  • If you want to show your kids what a pay phone looks like, definitely come here. There is a lot of information displayed at this Museum and a lot of historical documentation about the Morven House. The gift shop is cute. I went to the Drumthwacket Tour and received a $1 off coupon. Entry was $9.
  • Very cool, sort of tucked away experience. We went for the Christmas tree and mantle contest, and those were awesome. We went to learn about NJ communications and Mama Bell as an afterthought, but it turned out to be a far more entertaining and interesting experience than we previously thought. Staff is super friendly.
  • Quick family visit to the Festival of Trees. Everyone enjoyed the themed trees and mantle displays and the museum’s regular exhibits as well. Definitely visit and don’t be afraid to bring the teens.
  • Went there mostly for the Festival of Christmas trees, having been there before for the Lindberg exhibit a few years ago. The trees and fire place decorations were a terrific contribution to the Holiday season and exhibited the skills and spirit of the various groups and clubs that were responsible for the decorations. Well done indeed. The History of Morven is well told and presented and the wildlife artistry of Gerard Rutgers Hardenbergh very well represented. It was a great way to start an evening of enjoying the Holiday lights and Christmas decorations while walking around Princeton, topped off with a great diner in town st one of our favorite restaurants.
  • A small museum but a decent place to walk through with kids, especially on a rainy or cold day. Interesting exhibits on the evolution of the telephone. The holiday Festival is Trees is worth a visit.
