Wayfinding is a devised theatre piece weaving together three stories—of escape, survival, and discovery—with the personal journeys of its performers. Drawing from myths and old tales, the piece explores how we find our place in the world: reading stars, following trails, and navigating the invisible labyrinths of everyday life. As the stories unfold, the audience becomes part of the map.

Wayfinding es una obra de creación colectiva que entrelaza tres historias—de escape, supervivencia y descubrimiento—con las experiencias personales de sus intérpretes. Inspirada en mitos y relatos antiguos, la obra explora cómo encontramos nuestro lugar en el mundo: leyendo las estrellas, siguiendo caminos y navegando los laberintos invisibles de la vida cotidiana. A medida que las historias se desarrollan, el público se convierte en parte del mapa.

Morris-Jumel Mansion: Communing During Construction – Paranormal Historical Investigations

A special series during the Mansion’s restoration that takes you inside the house to investigate the presence of the paranormal!  Fridays and Saturdays 10/2 – 11/7 except for 10/24

Investigate paranormal activity behind the scaffolding! In this special series of investigations, we are bringing you into the Mansion after the construction crews leave for a different kind of investigation. Over many years, changes to the physical interior and exterior have caused reported shifts in the paranormal activity experienced in the Mansion. With extended access during this current period of change, we invite you to join us to get to the bottom of the question – “If there are ghosts in the Morris-Jumel Mansion, what do they think of the restoration?”.

Looking for an unforgettable ghost adventure for you and your friends? This Spooky Season, book an exclusive paranormal investigation at Manhattan’s oldest surviving house, where you will learn the background of paranormal investigations, including the legendary paranormal activity at Morris-Jumel Mansion, while learning the history of the Mansion, its former residents, and interesting facts about the museum collection. During the program, you will have after-dark access to ghost hunt in the period rooms of the Mansion, normally closed off to the public. Believers and skeptics alike will enjoy the evening, and will have the opportunity to possibly communicate with Morris-Jumel Mansion’s former residents using paranormal investigative equipment.

This event is strictly for those 18 and over.  Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing.  This event is capped at 16 participants.

Guests will not be permitted entry to the park/mansion before 6:45pm; the tour will begin promptly at 7pm; the gates will be closed and locked at 7:05pm and no entry will be permitted after that time. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this. Please plan your arrival accordingly. If you find that you are running late, please call the museum before 7pm at 212-923-8008.

We reserve the right to deny entry, and/or to remove from the premises anyone who appears intoxicated, or who is not abiding by these guidelines, which have been established to ensure your safety as well as the safety of our staff and other visitors.

Please be aware that this event includes extended periods of time where participants must stand. The Mansion does not have an elevator, and this event takes place on multiple floors that are only accessible via stairways.

Because of the high demand for this event, guests will be limited to one paranormal investigation per season until further notice. Any duplicate orders will be refunded in order to ensure we can allow as many members of our community to experience this unique event as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Reach out the Mansion at 212-923-8008 if you would like to book a private Paranormal Tour
