ConEd Family Day

Design Your Own Hand-Held Fan! 
Activity Kit Pick Up

Saturday, August 13, 2022
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Stay cool this summer like they did in the past by designing your own hand-held fan! Before air-conditioning was invented, people kept themselves cool by using hand-held fans. These fans could be simple or elaborate, and people could even send messages to one another by holding their fans in different positions. Learn more about the secret language of fans and make your own unique fans with this month’s Family Day activity kit!

Pick-Up Details: Activity kits containing instructions and materials will be available between 1-3 PM on Saturday, August 13th. If you are interested in picking up a kit, please come to the basement entrance on the right-hand side of the building and knock on the door. Kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Safety Requirements: Masks are required for participants over the age of two when social distancing is not possible. Your health and safety are our top priorities. Please be assured that the museum will follow guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), New York State, and New York City for increased health and safety procedures. By completing our registration process, you agree to abide by our visitor guidelines and procedures, which serve to keep our museum community safe.

For three decades, Marjorie Eliot and Parlor Entertainment have honored the past and celebrated the present with this event, which has become a cherished local tradition. Enjoy two days of classic jazz at the 30th Annual ‘Jazz At The Mansion’ event, hosted by the Morris-Jumel Mansion with support from the Jazz Foundation of America. Tax-deductible donations can be directed to Parlor Entertainment at jazzfoundation.org/parlor.

We are honored to partner again with our neighbor, Marjorie Eliot for the 30th presentation of this special, intimate event. Our location, across the street from historic apartment building 555 Edgecombe Avenue, (also known as the “Triple Nickel”) is particularly appropriate for a celebration of music. 555 Edgecombe was home to artists like Count Basie, singer and actor Paul Robeson, vocalists Cassandra Wilson and Tulani Kinard (Sweet Honey in the Rock), and today is the site of Ms. Eliot’s weekly Sunday Parlor Jazz sessions.

Exhibition On-View

At Ease - Photographs by
Military Veterans in New York

Through September 11, 2022

Learning to photograph, says U.S. Army veteran Anny Mariano, provides “the constant reminder that there is beauty and art all around me, even in the darkest of times.” Mariano and 21 other veterans who participated in workshops with the Josephine Herrick Project from 2018 - 2022 showcase their work in At Ease: Photographs by Military Veterans in New York. For the photographers, the camera became a way of finding new avenues of self-expression and to relate to the world around them. Filtered through their experiences and seen through their lenses, New York—even at its most frenetic—becomes a place of peace.

This exhibition is on-view at the Morris-Jumel Mansion from June 16 through September 11, 2022.

Visiting The Mansion During Covid

Please Note: Although the Key to NYC program has been discontinued, the Morris-Jumel Mansion still requires proof of vaccination for museum entry due to confined spaces and lack of an HVAC system in the historic house. To enter the Museum, all visitors ages 5 and above are required to show proof that they have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine (or proof of one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine), and a valid I.D. Your safety, and that of our team, continue to be our top priority, so at this time we also still require staff and visitors over the age of 2 to wear masks. All guests should bring their proof of vaccination and a photo ID. View our "Visiting During COVID-19" page for more details.

Program funding has been made possible by the following:

The museum is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with City Council and Borough President, Mark Levine, and Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa. Programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature. Support is also provided by The National Endowment for the Humanities, The New York Community Trust, City Parks Foundation, Humanities New York, and ConEdison.
