As our Connect260 series comes to an end, we invite you to gather for another special installment of the program to learn about the Mansion today and what it has in store for the future. The culmination of this series is the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the Mansion’s history, as December 1st marked the official closure date for the beginning of the long awaited MJM Restoration and Accessibility Project. Viewers are invited to join us virtually to learn about the final plans that are underway to ensure the preservation of the 260 year old landmark that is the Morris Jumel Mansion. Mansion staff will be joined by representatives of the Historic House Trust, who oversees the restoration of MJM and the preservation of the other 22 city owned historic houses in New York City, and have been steadfast advocates for the Mansion throughout the process. Their expertise will enlighten and excite lovers of history, Mansion neighbors, preservation enthusiasts, and more as they discuss all that is in store for the Mansion.

Looking to expand your understanding of how museums can tell more comprehensive stories and increase accessibility? Join us for “Discovering New Narratives,” a networking event that focuses on inclusive museum interpretations.

You will have the opportunity to connect with museum and history professionals over local Dominican food from DFM favorite El Nuevo Caridad. Whether you’re a museum professional, a history buff, or just someone who believes in the power of inclusive storytelling, this event is a wonderful opportunity to connect and collaborate.
This event is hosted in collaboration by the Northern Slavery Collective, the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, and the Historic House Trust of NYC.
