    To go along with our new exhibit, “Schooldays,”  about education in the 19th century, join us for a hands-on mash-up of 19th century sewing and early science! Embroider a map of New York and sew circuits to light it up with points of special interest. Finish with a work suitable for framing!  All materials provided, and no experience necessary.

    This workshop has been inspired by our new exhibit, “Schooldays in 19th-Century New York.”

    “”If you aren’t familiar with the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum, here is a brief history of our 200-year-old historic site. We were built in 1799 as a carriage house for a grand estate on East 61st Street. In 1826, we were transformed into a hotel for the up and coming middle class to visit on their day adventures above 14th Street. Please come visit us.””
