Drink Wine Where George Washington Slept...in Harlem!

Wine Tasting and Tour in Harlem

Who knew...George Washington slept in Harlem? In the fall of 1776, Washington used the Morris-Jumel Mansion as his headquarters. After Washington's departure, the Mansion played host to a succession of British and Hessian military leaders, served briefly as an inn for weary travelers, and finally returned to its role as country house. And that's just the beginning of the fascinating history of this stately mansion built on a hilltop in 1765.
