Morris-Jumel – Movie in the Park: Stand and Deliver

Bring a picnic blanket and some snacks to Roger Morris Park and enjoy a free screening of Stand and Deliver (1988).

About the film: “Jaime Escalante is an engineer turned mathematics teacher. Convinced that his students have potential, he adopts unconventional teaching methods to help gang members and no-hopers pass the rigorous Advanced Placement exam in calculus.” This movie is rated PG, so it is not considered suitable for young audiences.

MJM Virtual Parlor Chat: History of Juneteenth

Could the scandalous culmination of the bitterest rivalry of all Founding Fathers really be the reason the new democratic government of the United States survived?

Join us for this special presentation in commemoration of the 220th anniversary of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton’s duel in Weehawken, New Jersey. Dr. Jason Opal (Dean and Director of the Ohio State University’s Mansfield Campus) will join Mansion staff to discuss the impact of the battle between United States Senator Burr (second husband of our own Eliza Jumel) and Secretary of the Treasury Hamilton on an emerging political system in post-Revolution America.

Free Eventbrite registration required to receive the Zoom link; $5 suggested donation.
