SUMMARY:Virtual Parlor Chat: Light\, Shadow\, and Chasing the Ghost of Augustin Le Prince
DESCRIPTION:The haunting story of the Morris-Jumel Mansion’s vanished Gilded Age inventor. \n\n\n\n\nOn the eve of presenting the first motion picture camera to the world—2 years before Thomas Edison—its inventor\, Augustin Le Prince\, stepped onto the train from Dijon to Paris and vanished without a trace. Le Prince had begun his motion picture experiments in the early 1880s in Washington Heights. Concerned that Edison’s spies were monitoring his experiments\, he left his family there to work in relative privacy in England. In 1888\, Le Prince filmed the world’s first moving picture in a garden in Leeds. \nTwo years later\, after his experiments had strained both his finances and his marriage\, he was finally ready to present his invention to some of Gilded Age New York’s most illustrious patrons at the Morris–Jumel Mansion\, securing his place in film history. First\, however\, he had to persuade his brother to settle their late mother’s estate to help relieve him of the crushing debts he had not dared reveal to his family.  But just before sailing to New York\, Le Prince boarded a train in Dijon and was never seen again. \nHis family and friends made concerted efforts to find him\, but their searches yielded nothing. Had Le Prince chosen to disappear in order to conceal secrets he was hiding\, or was something more sinister at work? \nLaurel Avery\, author of “Light and Shadow”\, will go into depth about the research involved in retracing Le Prince’s steps before his mysterious disappearance\, and the importance of getting the history right for her upcoming novel Light and Shadow. We will go from the Paris morgue\, to Leeds\, where the first films were shot\, to Washington Heights and the Morris–Jumel Mansion\, where his family waited for his planned arrival and the much anticipated showing of the first film. \nAbout the Speaker: Laurel Avery\, author of Light and Shadow\, is a dress historian\, founder of Edwardian Recreations\, and a former museum educator at Historic Hudson Valley. A native New Yorker with a love for historical detail\, she has lived in Europe for over two decades. \nShe spent eight years researching and writing the book\, consulting with the foremost authorities on Le Prince. She traveled to France\, Leeds\, and New York to trace the footsteps of Le Prince from his youth to his mysterious disappearance in Paris.  Although the novel is a work of historical fiction\, it is based on known facts about Le Prince’s life and work.  Laurel currently lives in the Netherlands\, where she can often be spotted in Edwardian dress\, soon to be accompanied by dachshunds. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Virtual Parlor Chat: "First Victory: The Battle of Harlem Heights at 250"
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Harlem Heights\, the first Patriot victory of the American Revolution. \n\n\n\n\nThe Morris-Jumel Mansion\, then known as “Mt. Morris” or the summer home of British Military Officer Colonel Roger Morris and family\, became the headquarters of General George Washington\, his officers\, and troops for five weeks in the fall of 1776. Almost immediately after establishing the headquarters\, Washington and his troops would be faced with another opportunity to emerge victorious in a war in which they had only been defeated in up until this point. \nThe Battle of Harlem Heights is a largely unappreciated milestone in American military history. This engagement on upper Manhattan Island on September 16\, 1776 marked the first successful battlefield outcome achieved by George Washington’s troops in the quest for independence from Great Britain and presaged the gradual emergence of an effective fighting force among the citizen-soldiers who made up the Continental Army and bore the brunt of young America’s struggle for political and economic self-determination. The cooperative effort of regiments from New England\, Maryland\, and Virginia—whose men lacked any sense of national identity before the Revolution—indicated the potential for this fledgling army to cohere around a common national purpose and affiliation and become the primary instrument for gaining American independence. David Price\, author of The Battle of Harlem Heights\, 1776 joins the Mansion to take a deep dive into this small but extremely important moment in history on it’s 250th anniversary. \nAbout the speaker: \nDavid Price has authored five books about America’s War of Independence\, including a trilogy about the winter 1776/77 “Ten Crucial Days” campaign. His last book in that trilogy\, Winning the Ten Crucial Days\, was named an Honorable Mention for the Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award and a Finalist for the Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award. The other volumes in the trilogy are The Road to Assunpink Creek and Rescuing the Revolution. In addition\, he has authored John Haslet’s World and The Battle of Harlem Heights\, 1776. The latter is part of the Westholme Small Battle series and was accepted into the permanent collection of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. David is a recipient of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Bronze Good Citizenship Medal\, as well as its Certificate of Appreciation\, in recognition of his work as an author\, speaker\, and historical interpreter at Washington Crossing Historic Park in Pennsylvania and Princeton Battlefield State Park in New Jersey. He has written extensively for the prestigious\, peer-reviewed Journal of the American Revolution\, as well as The Journal of America’s Military Past\, Discover Concord magazine\, The Bann Disc journal\, and the Swan Historical Foundation newsletter. David holds degrees in political science from Drew University and Rutgers University\, and worked as a nonpartisan research analyst for the New Jersey Legislature for thirty-one years. He lives in Lawrence Township\, NJ. More information about David and his work can be found at dpauthor.com.

SUMMARY:Virtual Parlor: George Washington’s Legacy as a Military Commander\, from the Morris-Jumel Mansion to the Present
DESCRIPTION:Examine George Washington’s legacy as a military commander\, taking off from his use of the Morris-Jumel Mansion as a military Headquarters. \n\n\n\n\nGeorge Washington was born in 1732\, but his legacy has long outlived his mortal years. Among many things\, Washington was a military man\, beginning his career as a British militia officer\, fighting alongside Roger Morris in the French and Indian War. Later\, when he assumed his role as General of the Continental Army\, he took over Morris’s summer estate in Harlem Heights as his headquarters in the Fall of 1776. Starting from this pivotal point in time\, Dr. Sarah Purcell will join the Mansion for a Virtual Parlor Chat tracing the legacy of Washington as a military leader through the present day. \nAbout the Speaker: \nSarah Purcell\, L.F. Parker Professor of History\, graduated from Grinnell with a B.A. in history in 1992. She went on to earn an A.M. (1993) and a Ph.D. (1997) from Brown University. She joined the faculty of Grinnell in 2000 after teaching at Central Michigan University. Ms. Purcell’s research interests include: the Early National\, Antebellum\, and Civil War periods; popular culture and political culture; gender history; and military history. She is author of Sealed with Blood: War\, Sacrifice\, and Memory in Revolutionary America\, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press\, and Eyewitness History: The Early American Republic. She is co-author of The Encyclopedia of Battles in North America\, 1517-1915 (which won a 2000 Best of Reference award from the New York Public Library) and Critical Lives: The Life and Work of Eleanor Roosevelt. Her latest book\, Spectacle of Grief: Public Funerals and Memory in the Civil War Era\, was published in April 2022 by UNC Press.

SUMMARY:Dyckman Farmhouse: Back Porch History 1776 – A Defining Moment in the Story of Northern Manhattan
DESCRIPTION:Back Porch History: 1776 – A Defining Moment in the Story of Northern Manhattan with Don Rice \nJoin us for a free\, in-person lecture about the American Revolution and Northern Manhattan history at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Nearly 250 years ago\, in November 1776\, Dyckman was consumed by warfare. Thousands of British and Hessian soldiers attacked the hillsides and overwhelmed the American defenses there. For the next seven years\, occupying forces sucked the area dry\, leaving behind a countryside devoid of natural resources and pockmarked with wrecked farmsteads and roads. It was a defining moment in Inwood’s past. Using primary sources and rare images\, we’ll relive the events that led up to the battle of Fort Washington in 1776. \nCome learn about the Dyckman family’s role in trying to protect the neighborhood and their home\, and discover if anything still remains from those tumultuous times. \nRSVP Required –  Register on Eventbrite! \nDonRice was board president of the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance from 2016-2025. In 2009\, he founded the “Lost Inwood” series of popular local history talks and almost a decade later\, in 2019\, Rice co-authored a book of the same name with fellow local historian Cole Thompson. He’s lived with his family in North Manhattan for more than 25 years and is retired from a career in the Broadway Music field.

SUMMARY:Dyckman Farmhouse: Jamaicanisms - Jhanique Lovejoy & Kat Thompson in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Jamaicanisms: Jhanique Lovejoy & Kat Thompson in Conversation\, a talk centered on family archives as living repositories of Black history\,  inviting the community into a dialogue about memory\, storytelling\, and archival ethics\, situating domestic archives. \nHosted by Dyckman Farmhouse Museum\, the conversation features Jhanique Lovejoy and Kat Thompson discussing Lovejoy’s exhibition Soon Come\, Likkle More and their respective artistic practices as Jamaican-American artists. Through photography and textiles\, Lovejoy and Thompson examine Black memory\, family histories\, and the material traces of the Jamaican diaspora. \nCost: Free.  RSVP Required: register on Eventbrite! \nJhanique Lovejoy (b. 2001) is a New York imagemaker whose practice engages with multiplicity through the lens of race and culture. Lovejoy is known for her deeply intimate portrayals of her relationships as a queer Jamaican-American artist\, encompassing both familial and romantic connections. Utilizing alternative processes\, collage\, and insights from her musicological studies\, she explores themes of family archives\, love\, and the preservation of Black family history.  \nKat Thompson (b. 1991) is a lens-based artist and educator based in Virginia. Her interdisciplinary practice spans photography\, video\, textiles\, sculptural collage\, and installation. Through layering and material juxtaposition\, she examines how images and objects function as vessels for memory\, history\, and identity\, with a particular focus on the African Diaspora. Her work considers the construction of Black selfhood\, exploring how cultural memory\, ancestral inheritance\, and lived experience converge across personal and collective narratives.
