The Morris-Jumel Mansion brings New York history to life in the brand-new “Uncovering Uptown History” guided walking tour!

Manhattan’s oldest residence, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, brings Uptown Manhattan history to life in the brand-new “Uncovering Uptown History” guided walking tour!

Morris-Jumel Mansion guides bring you along a series of hidden historic gems of New York history in the brand-new “Uncovering Uptown History” guided walking tour: a 90-minute, one-mile mobile experience beginning at the Morris-Jumel Mansion and ending at Trinity Cemetery on Broadway and 155th. Spanning over 260 years, this tour illuminates little-known corners of the Revolutionary War, the Gilded and Industrial Ages, the Harlem Renaissance, and more, connecting the paths of legendary figures with the ones we walk today. Perfect for locals, hard to impress history buffs, and tourists looking beyond well-known sites of New York City.

Dress seasonably and wear your walking shoes. The walk is considered easy to moderately challenging.
