Festival of Trees Virtual Pajama Storytimes & Crafts, Morven Museum & Garden

Thursday December 9, 2021
5:30 PM

Hundreds of Christmases were celebrated by families living at Morven over its long history as a home. We invite you inside the mansion for a private virtual storytime and stroll through a different gallery each week to view tree and mantel displays for three weeks in December. Starting on Thursday, December 9, at 5:30 p.m. Morven Docent and former Teacher Mollie Brod will read a holiday story reflecting what might have been read during one of the eras when children lived at Morven. Curator of Education and Public Programs Debra Lampert-Rudman will share a make-at-home craft activity to go along with each story. Grab your favorite blanket and tune in for these special holiday events each week. And vote for your favorite tree and mantel either online or visit the museum to vote in person.
