Meet Me: At Morven Park
Meet Me: Community Outings are free, and give families living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early stage memory loss an opportunity to connect and stay engaged in the community, in a safe and supportive way. Outings are designed for both the diagnosed individual and a care partner or friend to participate together, and meet new friends in the process!
Morven Park is a 1,000 acre historic estate located at Leesburg, Virginia. Known as the “Central Park” of Loudoun County, Morven Park offers exquisite scenery, formal boxwood gardens, the Morven Park International Equestrian Center, the iconic Greek Revival mansion, museums, and hiking trails. We will be touring the Davis Mansion where we will hear stories of the civic and social lives of former Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis and his wife, Marguerite, during the first half of the 20th century. Following the tour, we will gather in the Vaughn Room of the Coach House Complex for some holiday refreshments and fellowship with each other!
*Please note - We will send additional info about finding the correct building and parking the week before the meet-up. Visitors of all ages should wear appropriate footwear and expect to encounter uneven or inclined surfaces of various materials such as gravel, grass, brick, asphalt, or sidewalk. Within the historic mansion museum, there are stairs (a flight of 12 steps with a landing to rest, if needed, followed by 8 more steps) to the second floor. A similar staircase is encountered to descend at the conclusion of the tour.*
Many thanks to I'm Still Here for providing funding for this program so that families can participate for free!
