For Your Safety

Public programs and tours on Morven Park’s history, including Civil War and World War I programs along with the the Winmill Carriage Collection, and tours of the boxwood gardens are currently offered through December 20th. As you drive down the mile long driveway, park in the Coach House Visitor Center parking lot and proceed to the Visitor Center. Your guide will greet you there and begin your tour. If you wish, the historic Boxwood Gardens are open for tour when our main gate is open, and you may spend time there before or after a tour. As you stroll through the historic Boxwood Gardens, please enjoy the beautiful flowers, shrubbery, and surrounding landscape, but please remember that they are there for beautification of the property and are not to be disturbed. Please note that the grounds close by 6pm.
