LOST INWOOD
-Special Reserve Edition-
-TUESDAY APRIL 2nd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM
Greetings!
Over the course of fifteen years and over 150 installments of Lost Inwood, we’ve come to expect two questions after each presentation.
1) “How do you pronounce the word Isham?” And
2) “Where do you find all these old photographs?”
This Tuesday we’ll put the Isham question to rest before exploring a vast world of local historic photos, curated largely from private sources. We’ll also hear the incredible backstories of the images, and discuss their miraculous return to the neighborhood.
Please join us Tuesday April 2nd 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.

This month, join us and historian Ramin Ganeshram as we celebrate the opening of our reinterpreted kitchen. The new permanent exhibition, Life Below Stairs, focuses on telling the stories of those whose labor kept the house running when the Mansion was a residence. We will discuss the content of the new kitchen exhibition, and of course, the behind-the-scenes work that went into putting it together.
This free event will be held virtually on Wednesday, November 15th from 7 – 8 PM. Register on Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link.
For September’s Virtual Parlor Chat, we will talk with Bruce Katz, whose photography exhibit Past/Present will be on view at Morris-Jumel Mansion starting September 23rd. This exhibit will juxtapose images of the area around the mansion today with how it would have looked historically.
This free event will be held virtually on Wednesday, September 20th from 7 – 8PM. Register on Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link.
Join us on July 19 at 7:00 when Dr. William Seraile will share the history of the New York ‘Colored’ Orphan Asylum on 5th Avenue, which had the support of prominent New Yorkers in the 19th century. Childhood indentures were a prominent aspect of the institution’s history until the early twentieth century. Some of the boys fought in the nation’s wars, including James Henry Gooden, a Civil War hero, and Elvin Bell, a highly decorated sailor in World War II. Dr. Seraile is Professor Emeritus in American History from CUNY and the author of Angels of Mercy: White Women and the History of New York’s Colored Orphan Asylum.
