Mount Vernon Hotel Museum

Mount Vernon Hotel Museum is a museum in New York City. It is located on the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. Its history goes back to 1799, when it was a country day hotel for New Yorkers escaping the crowded city, which at that time only covered the south end of the island. It sits on land owned by the daughter of President John Adams, Abigail Adams Smith. Hence until 2000 it was known as the Abigail Adams Smith Museum.

Mount Vernon Hotel Museum was acquired by the Colonial Dames of America in 1924. Today costumed guides show visitors around the museum which is furnished with period items such as Chinese porcelain, Aubusson carpets, Sheraton chests and Duncan Phyfe sofa.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
