Connect260: A Virtual Parlor Chat Series

This is an anniversary year for the Morris-Jumel Mansion and to commemorate it we will open a new exhibition on June 14, 2025: “What the House Saw: 260 Years of Stories from the Morris-Jumel Mansion Collection and Community”. In corresponding programming, we have organized a special series of Virtual Parlor Chats called Connect 260, which will highlight the chronological sections of the exhibition. Guest experts in these respective fields will give a sneak preview of each section via lecture and Question & Answer discussion with you, the audience.
