Horse Trials are part of a sport called “eventing,” which began more than a century ago among mounted cavalry officers as a demonstration of their horses’ strengths and their own riding skills.

Morven Park has been host to recognized Horse Trials since 1973, under the direction of cavalry master Major John Lynch and the Morven Park International Equestrian Institute. Today, we are proud to continue this legacy and host the Morven Park Spring Horse Trials and the Morven Park International & Fall Horse Trials. As one of five venues in the United States to hold a CCI4*-L competition, we invite competitors and spectators to enjoy the exciting, multi-phase discipline of eventing at all levels.

In 1994, when a family chamber orchestra with a grant but no venue inquired about the Waterford Old School stage, they were welcomed enthusiastically. A long-held dream by local music lovers came to pass: a concert committee was created and the program for 1995 chosen. The Waterford Concert Series was born.  Beginning with a world famous clarinet performer, the Metropolitan Opera National Audition Regional Finalists and a vocal octet, the concert series presented new and well-known classical musicians each year to an audience that grew in number and enthusiasm, and developed a mission to promote the timeless beauty of classical music to a diverse audience locally and throughout the region.

The America! Choral Festival, celebrating the nation's 250th birthday, will take place in Washington, DC, from March 19-21, 2026, featuring a finale at the National Cathedral conducted by Z. Randall Stroope.
