Mission Statement:
The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden (MVHM) preserves and interprets travel, leisure, work and play in diverse antebellum New York. The Museum shares and promotes historical knowledge for the education and enjoyment of the public through engaging interpretation and programs. The Museum presents its 1799 building and grounds as the Mount Vernon Hotel, which served day customers and travelers from 1826 to 1833.
Additional Information:
Every year, thousands of school aged students visit the MVHM to learn about the history of New York City. In our programs, volunteers facilitate classes that are developmentally appropriate for each age group and allow children to learn about social history during the 1820s and 30s; a huge time of growth for the city. Topics include immigration, urbanization, industrialization, population shifts and diversity.
Benefits: Training in Visual Thinking Strategies, and informal environment teaching skills, an ID card that allows you complementary admission to most museums in New York City, a museum shop discount, and the opportunity to connect with people interested in life-long learning.
