Join us this Family and Community Day as we celebrate Black History Month with a Valentine’s twist. All guests are welcome to create their own Victorian era Valentines, while examining multi-media presentations of famous Black women and couples. Among them will be Phillis Wheatley’s poem “Love” and the short silent film “Something Good” to inform, educate, and inspire our guests to reflect on and celebrate Black history this February and year-round.
This program is free and open to the public. All supplies will be provided and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Masks are optional inside the museum.
A perfect way to start Christmas weekend, Morris-Jumel Mansion is excited to bring back Jeffries Thaiss and his one-man rendition of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. Hear the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge in the historic setting of the Mansion for the first time since the pandemic. This is a show you will not want to miss! Tickets are limited.
Tickets are $30 per person and are available for purchase on Eventbrite.
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.
