Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden

Expérience fantastique: Constructed in 1799 as a carriage house and turned into the Mount Vernon Hotel in 1826, this stone building sits on land originally owned by Colonel William Stephens Smith, and his wife Abigail Adams Smith - the daughter of John Adams. There are event offerings throughout the year. I attended a murder-mystery event at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum last week and had a great time. I would very much come back for another event, possibly for one of the summer concerts.

Expérience fantastique: A hidden Upper East Side of New York gem that gives a glimpse of what the area was like in the late 17th and early 18th Centuries. It's open all year. They hold seasonal events too and every tour guide gives their own point of view on the house's history. Admission is only 8 bucks for adults. Tours take about an hour. Well worth it.

Expérience positive: The Murdee Mystery event I attended here was well organized and the Museum is well kept.

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful Museum!

Expérience fantastique: Historic house that was owned by Abigail Adams family. Period rooms, furniture and other accessories on exhibit, and a small yard/garden. Any historic house in New York is a great resource, especially because of the slash and burn building occurring everywhere. That something 200 years old was preserved, maintained, and open to the public is worth 5 stars, but since this is carefully preserved by people interested in New York and American history is even better.
