Which property in Monopoly was misspelled for over sixty years?
Tennessee Avenue
Marven Gardens
Connecticut Avenue
Reading Railroad
Marven Gardens is a yellow property on the original version of the Monopoly game board, although the game misspelled the name as “Marvin Gardens.” The misspelling was introduced by the game’s creators, Charles and Olive Todd, who inadvertently introduced the misspelling to Charles Darrow, the game’s patentee. In 1995, Parker Brothers acknowledged this mistake and formally apologized to the residents of Marven Gardens for the misspelling. Regrettably, Parker Brothers conceded that rectifying the error would be financially impractical.
The correct answer is Marven Gardens.
