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.

New York Adventure Club Tour and Reception
July 8th at 4:30PM
If you were to take a time machine back to 18th-century Manhattan, you would come across lush forests, rolling hills, an abundance of wildlife, and small Dutch family farms scattered throughout the countryside. While most of that rural beauty has vanished thanks to 300 years of industrialization, one lone farmhouse has stood the test of time, still in its original plot on bustling Broadway. It’s time to explore this important piece of New York history after the doors close to the public.
Join New York Adventure Club for an after-hours tour & wine reception at the Dyckman Farmhouse — built in 1784, this Dutch Colonial style farmhouse is the last remaining one of its kind in Manhattan.
Tour y recepción del New York Adventure Club
8 de julio a las 4:30 pm
Si viajaras en una máquina del tiempo al Manhattan del siglo XVIII, te encontrarías con frondosos bosques, colinas ondulantes, abundante vida silvestre y pequeñas granjas de familias holandesas esparcidas por todo el campo. Si bien la mayor parte de esa belleza rural se ha desvanecido gracias a 300 años de industrialización, una granja solitaria ha resistido la prueba del tiempo, aún en su lugar original en la bulliciosa Broadway. Es hora de explorar esta importante pieza de la historia de Nueva York a puerta cerrada.
Únete al New York Adventure Club para un recorrido nocturno y una recepción en el Museo Dyckman Farmhouse, construido en 1784; esta granja de estilo colonial holandés es la última que queda de su tipo en Manhattan.
