Morris-Jumel Mansion

Went during Open House New York. The home is in wonderful condition and worth a tour.

Charming period house where George Washington stayed and Aaron Burr got married, it probably won't take you more than an hour to walk through but it's a nice break from the rest of Manhattan and the gardens in the back are lovely. Definitely something to see if you're into underrated NYC sights!

Had a rejuvenating Yoga class here yesterday with yogi Chelsea, then I got to tour the house which is very enchanting and beautiful. The Sunken Gardens is very peaceful to sit and unwind or catch up. The gift shop carries lovely one-of-a-kind items too.

It is a nice place and the garden is really nice, i went there cause it was 3 blocks away from where i was staying, but i wouldnt recommend to travel too far to go there, is not that good unless you are particulary interested in the history behind the house. The gift shop is good and its not overpriced.

This is one of the most beautiful places in th area. It will take you back in time with elegancy and knowledge...Classes, workshops, historical walks, dinner events, concerts and even yoga! Can make this place one of the most hidden gems in Manhattan. I am in love with the Mansion and the history behind of it with fabuolus views and the beautiful gardens. The gift shop is to die for too, they have a collection of look-a-like vintage jewelry, natural and unique creams, candles and interesting books, etc. all very affordable and perfect for gifting. Director Carol Ward really cares for this place and welcomes you to enjoy the mansion as you are already part of it, as they said, there is always something new at the Manhattan's oldest house!
Go vist it!
