A Temporary Inconvenience… The multi-year, and much-needed, conservation and preservation work continues on the Mansion at Morven Park, the former residence of Gov. and Mrs. Westmoreland Davis and currently home of the Museum of Hounds & Hunting North America. The extent of this work has required the MHHNA to vacate the wing of the Mansion graciously provided to us by Morven Park. For now, a portion of the Museum’s collection is held in the Carriage House adjacent to the main building, some pieces are on loan elsewhere, and the rest have been carefully stored away. The renovation project schedule calls for a substantial amount of the work to be completed in 2009. Meanwhile, we’re using this electronic medium to offer partial access to the Museum’s collection and the many informative resources available. We thank you for visiting this website and a special word of appreciation goes out to the Membership, all of whom have demonstrated their unswerving support for the Museum’s mission.
