Morven was also home to Robert Wood Johnson and his family, and eventually five New Jersey governors. In 1982, the New Jersey Governor's Mansion was relocated to nearby Drumthwacket and Morven began its conversion to a museum and opened to the public in 2004.

Morven Museum and Garden is supported in part by a grant from the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Travel and Tourism.
