Morven has been many things. “Indian Camp,” tenant farm, home to slaves and slave owners. In the 20th Century, a private residence for some of the most successful businessmen in America.

It has never been a place of public purpose. Through the generosity of John W. Kluge, and under the leadership of University of Virginia President John T. Casteen III, that is no longer the case. This 3,000 acre estate in Albemarle County is in the midst of a major transformation. Wired, accessible, and refurnished, Morven is ready to serve one of America’s great public institutions.

Morven's goal is nothing short of a world class destination for critical thinking about issues that matter and ideas that work. Join us as we begin!
