Morven, known officially as Morven Museum & Garden, is a historic house at 55 Stockton Street in the Borough of Princeton, New Jersey, United States.

History

The land was originally part of a 5,500-acre (22 km²) tract purchased from William Penn by [[Richard Stockton in 1701. In 1754, his grandson, Richard Stockton (1730-1781) acquired 150 acres (0.61 km²) of the original lot and built the house. His wife, Annis Boudinot Stockton named the house "Morven" from a poem by Ossian.^[3] Commodore Robert Stockton (1795-1869) lived in the house. Robert Wood Johnson II was the first non-Stockton to live there when he leased the home after Bayard Stockton died in 1932.^[3]^[4] In 1944 Walter E. Edge, the New Jersey Governor purchased Morven. The sale had a deed restriction that the property would be given to New Jersey within two years of Edge's death.^[5] Edge ultimately transferred possession of Morven to the state during 1954, several years before he died.^[6] Morven became the Governor's Mansion until Drumthwacket was used starting in 1982.
