As our nation celebrates its 250th birthday, numerous special exhibits are available for viewing. The Morven Museum is showcasing a unique exhibit highlighting the five individuals from New Jersey who signed the Declaration of Independence. John Adams' personal writings, including his diary and letters to Abigail, contain favorable comments about these men. This historic building also has the distinction of being a former Governor's Mansion, home to Richard Stockton, and features an attractive garden. A surprise bloom today was a flower related to the Corpse Flower, emitting a strong fragrance that only Oscar the Grouch would appreciate.
