Philipsburg manor is not ADA compliant and not wheelchair accessible despite my confirming and…read morereceiving assurance from the information desk. I was informed that the pathways were navigatable and just a little "pebbly". In reality these are rock and sand pathways that are impossible for a wheelchair. The woman's bathroom was also non compliant as there wasnt a stall large enough to enter with the chair. I would have appreciated an honest assessment before I put my mother's safety as risk. After paying more than 50$, we were barely able to make it past the first foot bridge. Shameful.

Ended up really liking the Morris-Jumel mansion!

I especially really liked Eliza's story, she came from humble beginnings and from Rhode Island, and ended up becoming one of the most wealthiest women of Manhattan due to her getting into real estate. The rooms are really nice and have cool facts or information in them. One room had facts about how the Morrises ate turtles that weighed 100 pounds, it also detailed their seafood diet. You can tour the entire house from the basement, kitchen, rooms and living room. I liked how it had Bloomberg connect which tells you stories about the rooms and information about the people who stayed at the house. Many of the rooms had French design in them, since the tenants were inspired by the French. You can easily spend around 2 hours in here, if you go through each of the rooms. The tickets were $10, which isn't bad. The staff were also really friendly and nice, and mentioned to us upcoming events at the mansion. The museum also wasn't crowded.

There's also a park outside and Sylvan Terrace, which is part of the whole experience. They have tons of activities there too, tours, art shows, music, they show movies sometimes outside. If you want to just go there to walk your dog you can that as well, just in some place where George Washington used to walk around and now you're dog is sniffing around it. It's always well kept, everything always feels calm and peaceful in there, a little oasis in the city.

There isn't a guided tour most of the time, but the employee at the front was available to answer questions and we were lucky to come at at a time an intern was visiting and he gave us additional information. If that doesn't happen to you, there are signs and additional information on QR codes. There are a lot of original pieces mixed with period pieces detailing Greeley's family life and his career ups and downs. In addition to that, there is information on the impact he had in the local town and sites/statues in his honor. When I went, there was also a small gallery with Americana items including a beautiful handmade quilt. There is a very small gift shop and a couple of parking spaces on site. It's a pretty cheap price, helps the historical society, and there is also a walking map available for other significant town sites. It's cute and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

I went specifically for the African American print art exhibit which included works from the 1940s thru today. There was also a section with a video of one of the artists, showing his techniques. In addition to the museum, there is a small sculpture garden path and a larger area of nature trails for hiking. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. It is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of cities, and I plan to return to go on the nature trail. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance gate, but it is easier to do in advance on their website. They are general tickets, not timed or for a specific date. There is ample parking onsite at the beginning of the sculpture path.

There are a couple of exhibits to see and there no cost to enter the museum. Which is nice. My only two complaints are parking can be difficult, but I was lucky enough to find parking on the street since the lot was $28. Also, since the museum is small, it's very short tour and there was only one floor that was open and it was a little limited. But we did all have a good time nevertheless. Would recommend visit the museum and take in the beautiful of art and experiences of the artist.

I visited the Hispanic Museum & Library last weekend for the first time. It's a museum and…read morereference library for the study of the arts and cultures of Spain, Portugal, and their former colonies in Latin America, the Spanish East Indies, and Portuguese India. It was founded in 1904 and expanded into the former home of the Museum of the American Indian (adjacent to the museum's original building) in 2021. Their collection includes 18,000 works, including works by Diego Velázquez, Francisco de Goya, El Greco, and Joaquín Sorolla. When I visited last weekend, the largest space of the museum was closed as they set it up for a new exhibit. Unfortunately, that meant only two small spaces were open to view. Luckily, one of the spaces I was able to see was the Sorollo Room. It displays 14 paintings painted by Joaquín Sorolla. Together, the paintings depict different provinces of Spain and total 227 feet in length. It's incredible and worth a trip to the museum on its own. It's free to visit the museum, so if you're in the area it's well worth stepping by. If you get lucky, you'll get to see more than I did (bad timing!), but even if you see nothing more than the Sorolla Room, it's worth it. I'll probably return one day to see more of their space and different exhibits!
