SUMMARY:Morris-Jumel Mansion: Virtual Parlor Chat "Indigenous New York with Oleana Whispering"
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Parlor Chat: Indigenous New York with Oleana Whispering.  An introductory oral historical account and cultural interpretation of the Indigenous ethnos and landscape of New York from 1654 to today. \nWhat was the landscape and community life of the place known then as Manahatta and known today as Manhattan? Who were the first tribes that the Dutch encountered and formed relations with? How did Pearl Steet inherit its name? Did the Dutch influence or impact the indigenous people? Were NewYork’s Indigenous expunged with the Indian Removal Act? Who were the chiefs\, and did they live in a patriarchal or matriarchal society?This dialogue answers questions rarely addressed based upon documented historical records and taps into how they exist today in the shadows of an internationally famous metropolis. \nAbout the speaker: Oleana Whispering Dove has worked as a museum professional for over 20 years and curates Native American programs\, spotlighting Traditional and Contemporary Indigenous artists. Likewise\, Oleana is Smithsonian Museum-trained in Lenape Indigenous history and fulfills public speaking engagements on the topics of Carving Out a Legacy and Historic Native American Women Chiefs\, which reflect her Indigenous heritage as a Native American descendant .

SUMMARY:MJM Virtual Parlor Chat: Food\, Hunger\, Scarcity and General Washington’s Continental Army
DESCRIPTION:What did the soldiers of the Continental Army eat to fuel their fight for independence? What about the officers or General George Washington? Food insecurity was a monumental challenge faced by all those involved in the American Revolution. John Ota\, a bestselling and award winning author of books such as “The Kitchen” (2021 Taste Canada Awards finalist and a 2021 Paris Gourmand Cookbook finalist) and the newly released book “The Dining Room” joins the Mansion to discuss what these rations would have looked like for throughout the ranks. Ota’s deep research into the foodways of the Revolution will offer a detailed and thoughful lecture on the true circumstances of the Military encampment and headquarters menus – including what would have been eaten by soldiers and Generals alike when stationed at the MORRIS-JUMEL MANSION. \nFrom soldier’s rations to George Washington’s war time birthday celebrations\, learn about the culinary history of the American Revolution. \nThis is a virtual event;link will be emailed upon registration.

SUMMARY:Virtual Parlor Chat: Trapped Between Armies: New York Women in the Neutral Zone
DESCRIPTION:The American Revolution was largely fought in the backyards of civilians\, especially in New York. After the British took control of New York City in the fall of 1776\, with the Americans retreating north of the Croton River\, the area in between became known as the Neutral Ground or Neutral Zone. \n\n\nFor eight long years\, this area\, which included all of Philipse Manor\, saw unprecedented levels of military battles and skirmishes\, vigilante violence\, and “foraging” for military supplies from the very civilians the armies were purporting to liberate from the enemy. Women were often caught in the middle\, as they struggled to maintain households with men joining armies\, tried to protect themselves and their children from military and vigilante violence including sexual violence\, and to protect their properties and foodstuffs from barn burnings\, cattle rustlers\, and marauding “foragers.” Some had strong political views on the conflict. Others simply tried to survive. \nThis talk will examine the lives of women in the Neutral Zone more broadly as well as specific stories of individual women including Mary Philipse Morris and Elizabeth Williams Rutgers Philipse\, Ann Fisher Miller\, Grace Isaacs Babcock\, and Black Loyalists such as Eleanor Fleming and Lydia Tompkins. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Dyckman Farmhouse: History in Focus 2025 - “Diversity and it’s Limits: Attitudes Towards Immigration in New York”
DESCRIPTION:Dyckman Farmhouse Museum presents History In Focus 2025: \nA Virtual Lecture Series on\nImmigrant History in Upper Manhattan \n“Diversity and it’s Limits: Attitudes Towards Immigration in New York” with Dr. Philip Kasinitz \nJune 18th\, 2025\n12pm on Zoom \nFREE!\nREGISTER HERE! \nNew York’s history has long been the history of migrants and newcomers. Since the days of Dutch New Amsterdam\, waves of migrants—some voluntary\, some not—have continually remade the city. Historically\, immigrants have accounted for almost all of the City’s population growth as well as its emergence as a center of economic activity and cultural innovation. \nDespite its long history of ethnic and racial conflict\, New Yorkers have generally been more favorably disposed towards immigration—if not necessarily towards all groups of immigrants– than most Americans. However\, last year’s influx of refugees\, many of whom were bused to New York\, has presented the city with new challenges. The mayor described this influx as “unprecedented” and feared that it could “destroy the city”. More recently the policies of the Trump administration have framed migration as a “crisis” and local and federal policies have increasingly come into conflict. \nFor the FINAL presentation of History in Focus 2025\, Dr. Philip Kasinitz will explore some of the history of how New York has received immigrants and discuss what is and is not new about the present situation. Dr. Kasinitz will also present the surprising findings of a new survey on attitudes towards migrants among today’s New Yorkers. \nPhilip Kasinitz is Presidential Professor of Sociology and director of the Advanced Research Collaborative at the City University of New York Graduate Center\, where he founded the Master’s program in International Migration Studies. His co-authored book Inheriting the City: The Children of Immigrants Come of Age received the American Sociological Association Distinguished Book Award and the Eastern Sociological Society’s Mira Komarovsky Book award. Other recent works include Growing Up Muslim in Europe and the United Sates and Global Cities\, Local Streets. Former President of the Eastern Sociological Society\, he serves on The Russell Sage Foundation’s committee on Race\, Ethnicity and Immigration and the Historical Advisory Committee of the Ellis Island Museum. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by\, the Honorable Carmen De La Rosa\, New York City Council\, District 10.

SUMMARY:Dyckman Farmhouse: “Bled\, Cupped\, Blister’d and Purged”—Healthcare in the 18th and Early 19th Centuries
DESCRIPTION:“Bled\, Cupped\, Blister’d and Purged”—Healthcare in the 18th and Early 19th Centuries \nBy Dr. Gretchen Sorin \nAugust 7th at 6:30PM \nVIRTUAL VIA ZOOM \nRegister here \nHealthcare in the time of the Dyckman Farmhouse\, the 18th and early 19th centuries\, was dramatically different from healthcare and wellness today\, although we can see vestiges of this time in some current practices. The people of the enlightenment made some moves toward cleanliness\, but\, the lack of indoor plumbing and body cleansing\, the difficulty of finding clean water\, and the lack of sewage systems contributed to a host of health problems\, as did a limited number of effective medicines. Inspired by an exhibition developed by the Cooperstown Graduate Program\, “Health and Hygiene at a 19th century Farmhouse\,” this talk will highlight medical practices in this period and the care available to both wealthy landowners and the enslaved people who shared their households. \n  \n“Sangrado\,ventosaterapia\, ampollas y purgado”: ​​la atención médica en el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX \nPor la Dra. Gretchen Sorin \n7 de agosto a las 6:30 PM \nVIRTUAL VÍA ZOOM \nRegistrarse aquí \nLa atención médica en la época de Dyckman Farmhouse\, el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX\, era dramáticamente diferente de la atención médica y el bienestar actuales\, aunque podemos ver vestigios de esta época en algunas prácticas actuales. Las personas del Siglo de las Luces hicieron algunos avances hacia la limpieza\, pero la falta de plomería interior y de limpieza corporal\, la dificultad para encontrar agua potable y la falta de sistemas de alcantarillado contribuyeron a una serie de problemas de salud\, al igual que un número limitado de medicamentos. Inspirada en una exposición desarrollada por el Programa de Graduados de Cooperstown\, “Salud e higiene en una granja del siglo XIX”\, esta charla destacará las prácticas médicas en este período y la atención disponible tanto para los propietarios ricos como para los esclavos que compartían sus hogares.
