Morris-Jumel Mansion Inc. was established to preserve and curate Manhattan’s oldest residence, the Morris-Jumel mansion and museum. Through historic site tours and educational programs, the museum interprets the mansion in the context of domestic life in New York City from 1765 until 1865, the influx of European immigrants to Washington Heights in the late 1800’s, the City Beautiful movement at the turn of the century, the life of the Jumel Terrace Historic District, and more recent immigration. The organization also serves as a cultural resource for an audience of national and international visitors and, in particular, the diverse audiences of the City of New York.
