To mark the opening of Northern Families, Southern Ties at Morven Museum and Garden, participate in free discussion and workshop exploring how history, memory, and place intersect in the stories we choose to remember.
After visiting the exhibition, join Stephanie Schwartz, Curator of Collections and Research at the Historical Society of Princeton, for a brief introduction to Princeton’s monuments and memorials. The talk will explore how remembrance can take many forms, from statues and plaques to the everyday landmarks that hold meaning.
Participants can then design their own memorial to a person, place, or story they believe should be remembered, contributing to a shared display inside Morven’s Stockton Education Center.
All materials will be provided. This is a free program and all ages are welcome.
This program is held in partnership with Morven and the Historical Society of Princeton.
