Reviews to Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden
Structure itself is amazing. Furniture and many aspects of the interior are not original to the building but rather of the period. This is a place that is good for learning about the life and times of the Mount Vernon Hotel as a hotel, rather than about the structure and building itself. The mandatory video and guided tour didn't help. Walk by and marvel, no need to go in.

Historic house that was owned by Abigail Adams family. Period rooms, furniture and other accessories on exhibit, and a small yard/garden. Any historic house in New York is a great resource, especially because of the slash and burn building occurring everywhere. That something 200 years old was preserved, maintained, and open to the public is worth 5 stars, but since this is carefully preserved by people interested in New York and American history is even better.

Constructed in 1799 as a carriage house and turned into the Mount Vernon Hotel in 1826, this stone building sits on land originally owned by Colonel William Stephens Smith, and his wife Abigail Adams Smith - the daughter of John Adams.
There are event offerings throughout the year. I attended a murder-mystery event at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum last week and had a great time. I would very much come back for another event, possibly for one of the summer concerts.
