Description & History

Morris-Jumel Mansion is a not-for-profit historic house museum located in lovely Roger Morris park in northern Manhattan. It is the oldest remaining residential structure in Manhattan and is dedicated to preserving and disseminating knowledge related to the site and the development of the Washington Heights community in which the museum resides. Morris-Jumel Mansion offers a number of curriculum-based programs for primary and secondary school students. The Mansion uses its period rooms, architecture, and primary source documents to interpret three important American historical periods: the late colonial period, the Revolutionary War, and the early years of the new Republic.

We also offer free arts workshops for kids during off-school times such as weekends and school vacations. Our adult programs include guided tours of the Mansion and special programming throughout the year such as concerts, lectures, special walking tours.
