Springtime Garden Tours at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum

The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden is pleased to offer two special springtime garden tours led by our head gardener, Lili Neuhauser.

These tours will include a 30-minute garden tour and a 30-minute museum tour, and guests will have the opportunity to learn about the history of the space, including the role played by the Alice Recknagle Ireys, the groundbreaking landscape architect responsible for the current version, the plants currently here, and the changes made over the years as the city’s taller buildings grew up around us and the available light changed. Visitors will be able to ask Lili their questions and tickets will include garden access for the day, from 10:30-1:30.

We hope you’ll join us for this exciting opportunity—if you’ve ever wondered about the garden that surrounds the MVHM, this is your chance for an in-depth conversation and an informative and engaging stroll around the property.

Our1799 carriage house, one of the oldest structures in Manhattan, was once one of approximately 50 day hotels operating in and around New York City, and is currently the only historical site to focus on these unique places.

Limit of 20 people per tour; advance tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite up to 1 hour prior to tour start-time.

Walk-ins can pay at the door 5 minutes prior to the tour start-time. Visit our newly-renovated gift shop; our garden is also open to visitors; details at https://mvhm.org/visit/.
