Take a behind-the-scenes, after-hours tour of the museum’s landmark exhibition for America’s 250th with Morven’s curators Beth Allan and Jesse Gordon Simons.
Five Independent Souls: The Signers from New Jersey examines the lives, ideals, and contradictions of the Declaration of Independence's New Jersey Signers—Abraham Clark, John Hart, Francis Hopkinson, Richard Stockton, and John Witherspoon—through over 100 historic artifacts, including items not usually on display to the public. It also confronts a confounding actuality: while risking their lives for liberty, freedom, and equality, they denied these rights to the people they enslaved.
