About
A museum tour with a historically-inspired tea tasting at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden, marking the 200th anniversary of the hotel's opening. The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden presents this event about the rise of New York City driven largely by the Erie Canal, opened in October 1825, which made day hotels like the Mount Vernon Hotel flourish. The tour highlights the new exhibition The Empire City Begins and explains the canal's impact on travel and trade. Afterwards, guests step into the Tavern for a tea talk with four to five teas inspired by what would have been served at the Mount Vernon Hotel, plus light refreshments.
