Morris-Jumel Mansion: Tavern Night

Tavern Night: Raise a glass with friends and raise funds for the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest remaining residence!

Come revel in a way American Revolutionaries would be proud of!
Don’t miss our premiere event for 21+ audiences. For one night only, the Mansion returns to its roots as an Olde New York City Tavern. Step back in time to experience the lively historic music, entertainment, and fun that only an 18th-century tavern can offer! Of course, there will be a plethora of bites and beverages (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) that George Washington himself would be envious of! This year’s event is bigger than ever, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, making for an unforgettable summer night on the historic grounds.

Located in the lush and historic Roger Morris Park, Tavern Night festivities are the perfect celebration of summertime in the city. Raise a glass with us at the Morris-Jumel Mansion–where history comes alive and good cheer is always on tap. All proceeds from this fundraiser go to supporting the Morris-Jumel Mansion, a non-profit organization. Contact info@morrisjumel.org with any questions.

WHCO & Morris Jumel: Summer Picnic Concert – Trio Fadolín

Summer Picnic Concert: Trio Fadolín

Trio Fadolín is a new ensemble with a unique sonority — featuring Sabina Torosjan on violin, Valeriya Sholokhova on cello, and Ljova, performing on the fadolín – a new instrument that encompasses the range of the violin, viola, and most of the cello, finding its footing in an acoustic chamber music setting for the first time

This performance takes place at the Morris-Jumel Mansion. Built in 1765, it is Manhattan’s oldest surviving residence and was once the headquarters of General George Washington. Don’t miss a stroll down picturesque and historic Jumel Terrace while you’re here!

These concerts are free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic, blankets, or chairs, and we kindly ask that you help maintain the cleanliness and care of our shared public spaces.
