It's Friday and pre-COVID that might have meant a fun or romantic "Date Night", but what are you going to do now? Morven Park's Events Coordinator has a few suggestions in her latest blog "Love in the Time of COVID-19"--> https://www.morvenpark.org/about/park-news-blogs.html/article/2020/07/04/love-in-the-time-of-covid-19
#LoveLoudoun #DateNight #TogetherAtHome
I miss date night. I know that may sound petty in a world that has much bigger problems, but date night is a great way to reconnect with the ones we love the most, even when we have been stuck in the house with them since March. Date night can help romantic partners remember how to be romantic. Date...

It's #FlashbackFriday! Here is a side by side picture of the Davis Mansion's Front Hall, then and now! The historic picture was taken for a spread in Town & Country magazine in 1905. Marguerite held onto the Victorian mode of interior decorating well into the 20th century. The furnishings still haven't changed much since then! Can you spot the differences?

#ThrowbackThursday poll! Who remembers when the mansion looked like this? Probably none of us, since the towers were dismantled by Mary Mercer Carter after she inherited the estate from her father, Thomas Swann, Jr. in 1878. Which look do you prefer? Let us know in the comments below.

POLO IN THE PARK UPDATE:
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, the 2020 season of Morven Park’s Polo in the Park has been canceled.
Park staff worked diligently to prepare for the season, but information provided by state, regional, and local officials led to the decision to cancel. The “Safer at Home: Phase Three” guidelines recently issued by the Governor’s Office limited the feasibility of a large, spectator-friendly event like Polo in the Park. Additionally, Morven Park’s strong commitment to the health and safety of Park guests and staff helped shaped the decision to cancel.
“This was a heart-breaking decision to make, but I know we made the right call for the fans, the players, and the community,” said Morven Park Executive Director, Sheryl Williams.
Morven Park wishes to thank the 2020 Polo in the Park GOLD sponsors, AMJ Financial, Climatic Heating and Cooling, Inc, Lauten Construction, and Salesforce who stepped up and provided their support during these difficult times.
Additional supporters include Merritt Properties, LLC; USPA Global Licensing Inc.; Total Equine Veterinary Associates, PC; B&D Builders; SmartPak; Sandy Spring Bank; Destination Polo; Middleburg Life; Loudoun County Economic Development; Visit Loudoun; Yount, Hyde & Barbour, PC; NetJets Inc.; King Street Oyster Bar, and Hunt Country Events.
We look forward to welcoming our sponsors and fans back to Polo in the Park next year!

For five years, the Morven Park Center for Civic Impact has worked with second graders to learn about how to foster and create empathy for pollinators like the monarch butterfly. This spring, the Park partnered with local beekeeper Ed K. to bring Russian honeybees to the grounds, and we now have about 60,000 new pollinators for students to learn about!
Over the summer, Ed and the education team will make a few short videos highlighting the bees and asking students how they can take responsibility and make an impact for pollinators.

What a school year! This year the Morven Park Center for Civic Impact scheduled over 10,000 total interactions with 30 partner schools. Classroom teachers led students through lessons previously only taught by Morven Park educators.
Even after schools closed in March, the education team continued to provide teachers with lessons to help their students learn from home. Through it all, students learned that their voice matters, to research issues, take responsibility, and make an impact. Even though next year might look different, we are excited to continue supporting LCPS students in their civic growth!

Our Story
COVID-19 Update: The Pedestrian Entrance to the Park on Old Waterford Road is open daily from 9am-7pm. We recognize being outdoors in nature is a great way to get much-needed fresh air and exercise and have decided to allow limited access to Park grounds in the interest of public health. Morven Park gates and parking lots will remain closed due to the fact that we cannot regulate the number of vehicles/people visiting the Park at any given time and need to remain in compliance with the federal directive to discourage crowds and large groups from gathering. Please note, all restrooms and Park buildings remain closed.
Morven Park, Loudoun County's most important community resource for current and future generations, has something for everyone! This 1,000-acre oasis in the heart of the county is home to the world-renowned Morven Park International Equestrian Center, the premier Morven Park Athletic Field Complex, the historic Davis Mansion, and the unique Winmill Carriage Museum. The picturesque grounds are open to the public every day, while the mansion and museum tour hours vary with the seasons. Tour schedules and a calendar of equestrian, athletic, and special events can be found at MorvenPark.org.
Many visitors believe that Morven Park is a city or county resource, but it is actually a nonprofit that relies on support from people like you to remain open to the public. Support the Park at MorvenPark.org/DonateNow.

The Piedmont Driving Club held a pre-show clinic at Morven Park on Sat. Everyone had a great time at the new facilities. The footing was PERFECTION even after 10" of recent rain. Equestrian events manager, Laura Doyle, is always the most gracious, generous hostess. Driving there feels like going to a friend's place-a friend with unimagineably splendid rings! Driving a carriage there feels like taking a magic carpet ride.
I encourage everyone to do your horses and yourself a favor- COME TO MORVEN PARK!
Can't wait for Polo In the Park this Summer at Moven Park!
