Built in 1765, the Morris-Jumel Mansion is the oldest house in all of Manhattan. It was a base for both sides at different times in the Revolutionary War, and among its guests has hosted John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and John Quincy Adams. And now you!
The grounds are what initially drew me to this spot to sketch - they are beautiful. But we will also have access to the historic house itself. And it's right next to Sylvan Terrace, a fascinating street. Lots to draw!
Admission is $10, or $8 for seniors and students.
