The Merchant&rsquo;s House Museum is New York City&rsquo;s only family home preserved intact&mdash;inside and out&mdash;from the 19th century. Built in 1832 by abolitionist Joseph Brewster, who designed the house to include a hidden passageway, it is Manhattan&rsquo;s only intact site of the Underground Railroad open to the public.&nbsp; On this 75-minute tour exclusively for MHM Members, we&#39;ll discuss the museum&#39;s two years of research; explore the struggle against slavery in a pro-slavery New York and Brewster&#39;s motivations in building the house; and view the intact hidden passageway.&nbsp; Not a Member?

The Merchant’s House Museum is New York City’s only family home preserved intact—inside and out—from the 19th century. Built in 1832 by abolitionist Joseph Brewster, who designed the house to include a hidden passageway, it is Manhattan’s only intact site of the Underground Railroad open to the public.  On this 75-minute tour exclusively for MHM Members, we'll discuss the museum's two years of research; explore the struggle against slavery in a pro-slavery New York and Brewster's motivations in building the house; and view the intact hidden passageway.  Not a Member?
