Jumel Mansion Passes to Daughters of the American Revolution
The Jumel mansion in New York, known as the Morris house and linked to Washington’s HQ, will be transferred to the Daughters of the American Revolution once incorporated. The city recently bought the property to preserve it as a free historical museum, with ties to Col. Morris, Gen. Earle, and prominent early American figures.
