Morris-Jumel Mansion


Morris-Jumel Mansion

But the mansion’s most fascinating resident was Madame Eliza Jumel, whose life was the stuff of legend. Among the wealthiest women in New York, she lived in the residence from 1810 to 1865. According to some, she never really left. Her ghost is said to haunt the place, occasionally appearing on the balcony. And there are rumors of another spirit that clomps around in heavy boots.
