Join us at Morris-Jumel Mansion on our November ConEd Family and Community Day for a captivating tin punch lantern activity! Explore the rich history of our 18th-century home by crafting your own version of early American lighting. Tin punch lanterns were popular in colonial times, providing both function and artistry, and now you can create your own unique design using aluminum foil! As the days grow shorter, let your creativity illuminate the season. This hands-on experience is perfect for families looking to connect with history and enjoy a day of art, warmth, and community fun. This program is free and open to the public. Materials are provided on a first come, first served basis. Don’t miss out!
LOST INWOOD
– Uptown’s Springs, Wells, and Water –
-TUESDAY APRIL 7th at 7:30PM-
Water. We all need it. But running household tap water wasn’t available to Inwood residents until the latter part of the 1800s. Before it became possible to simply turn on a faucet, how did people get fresh water to drink and use? And when did municipal water arrive in Inwood?
This month at LOST INWOOD we’ll discover the fascinating network of springs, wells, creeks and canals which dotted northern Manhattan and Inwood. We’ll use our virtual dowsing rods to trace their story. Where were Inwood’s springs and wells of yesteryear? Are any of them still around? You might be surprised.
Please join us Tuesday Apr 7th at 7:30pm. It’s free to the public, but reservations are recommended. Hope to see you there!
