Winmill Carriage Museum at Morven Park

Morven Park's Winmill Carriage Museum is ready to welcome back visitors!
The museum will re-open Saturday, July 18th and will be open every Saturday through August 29th.
Museum hours will be noon - 5:00 p.m.
Tickets are sold for the hour: 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm. The museum closes at 5pm. You will only be allowed in the museum during your ticketed hour.
Tickets are $5 for adults and children 2 and under are FREE!
You MUST PURCHASE tickets ONLINE and IN ADVANCE in order to visit the Winmill Carriage Museum.

The museum features a unique collection of horse-drawn vehicles donated by carriage driving enthusiast, Viola Winmill. The forty antique coaches, carriages, sleds and carts range from utilitarian to regal. Of particular interest are the miniature road coach designed for General Tom Thumb of the Barnum & Bailey Circus and the elegant calèche loaned for the use of Grace Kelly in the movie “The Swan.”

We suggest making a day trip to the Park to include strolling through the Park's gardens or hiking a Park trail, a picnic lunch on the expansive Davis Mansion lawn, and including your self-guided tour of the Winmill Carriage Museum.
