As we reach the midpoint of Pride Month and approach the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we look back on the words of the "Founding Fathers" of our country. While it is well understood that "equality" in 1776 looked very different than in 2026, it is clear that the US was built on the core principle of equal rights and protection for all. The meaning and application of these principles has evolved over the centuries, but the foundation remains unchanged. All are created equal.

At the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest house in Manhattan, we are committed equally to preserving history and serving the diverse and dynamic community of New York City and beyond. Learn more about our history and events at our website www.morrisjumel.org

New York looked a little different in 1973.

These photographs from the Morris-Jumel Mansion archives were taken just over a month after the New York Knicks won their last NBA championship. Now, 53 years later, New York has another title to celebrate.

Even Eliza Jumel is getting in on the festivities.

Go Knicks! 🏀🗽💙🧡

Mark your calendar for the Morris-Jumel Mansion 2026 George Washington Dinner: Thursday, September 24 in New York City.

In this year marking America 250 there is special meaning for the annual event, which traditionally commemorates the 1790 dinner at the Mansion hosted by President Washington for his Cabinet. September 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Harlem Heights, which was an important victory for the Continental Army. During the many weeks of fierce fighting, the Morris-Jumel Mansion served as headquarters for General Washington.

The George Washington Dinner is the most important fundraiser of the year for the landmarked Mansion, built in 1765 and the oldest house in Manhattan. The event raises critical funds to help us preserve history and serve the community.

The American Revolution promised liberty, but for many Black Americans, the path to freedom was far from clear.

Should they support the Patriot cause? Remain loyal to the British Crown? Would either side truly offer freedom?

Cheers for the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) Awards and the launch of the 2026 Uptown Arts Stroll -- a month of events and open studios throughout June that spotlight the “exciting and enriching work" of artists and institutions in northern Manhattan. Honorees, cultural organizations, supporters, and friends gathered for the celebration on June 1 on the plaza of the Audubon Terrace, home to the Hispanic Society and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which both hosted special exhibits within their breathtaking galleries.

The Morris-Jumel Mansion was proudly among the five 2026 NoMAA honorees recognized for impact on the arts and culture of uptown Manhattan.

In attendance for MJM were Trustees Camilla Saly, Susan Arnot Heaney, Wayne Benjamin, and Alysse Jordan along with Executive Director Catherine Hughes. Shout out to NoMAA Board Chair Luis Miranda and Executive Director Niria Leyva-Gutierrez, and fellow honorees, including Michael Palma and Joyce Adewumi.
