Weekday Sketchers at Morris Jumel Mansion Thursday
Join us this week as we take a step back in history to when George Washington was commanding the Battle of Brooklyn. He used this home as a base because he had a clear view from Washington Heights all the way to the battery. Hard as it is to believe, that fact put this house "on the map" as a strategic position in the Revolutionary War.
Join us as we sketch the house (from the outside), the gardens and the fascinating architecture of Sylvan Terrace, which are all part of the Jumel Historic District in Washington Heights. Our focus will be the exterior of the building and grounds. For those who wish to visit the interior they are welcome to do so and take a tour. There is an entrance fee if you want to tour the building.
