Morris Jumel Mansion

Yesterday we participated in a service project that I organized for an Enrichment Activity. We went up to the Morris Jumel Mansion which is only 2 blocks from where we live. This is the oldest house in Manhattan and was also the headquarters for General George Washington for several weeks during the Revolutionary War. We did some weeding, pruning, planting and other various gardening activities. The weather was quite threatening all morning, but the heavy rain waited until we were finished with our project! Miracle!
