Morris-Jumel – “Poetic Justice?”: A Celebration of Eliza Jumel in Honor of Her 250th Birthday

Eliza Jumel had a taste for poetic justice . . . so did she really hire Alexander Hamilton’s son as her lawyer when she divorced Aaron Burr? Find out—and celebrate her 250th birthday with cake and bubbly—at 2 PM on April 5 at the Morris-Jumel Mansion.

Biographer Margaret Oppenheimer, author of The Remarkable Rise of Eliza Jumel, will unveil Jumel’s wily dealings with Hamilton Jr. and share a long-forgotten letter by Jumel’s niece Mary that contains delightful references to Burr.
The talk is free with Mansion admission. Pre-booking your admission tickets is strongly recommended as space is limited.
