This tour includes a guided 45-minute exterior orientation to the site and grounds, and remarkable women who lived and worked here, followed by the opportunity for an intimate self-guided tour of the interior of the Mansion.

Virtual Parlor Chat: While We Are Still Here with Karen Taylor

Wednesday, October 19
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Karen D. Taylor is the founder and executive director of While We Art Still Here, a 501 (c)(3) organization formed as a response to the threat that 409 and 555 Edgecombe history faced partially due to the passing of time, and partially due to  “gentrification,” which is rapidly altering the neighborhood of Sugar Hill and surrounding areas. Ms. Taylor will discuss her current initiative, SIGNS OF THE TIMES: Harlem Heritage Markers Project, which will install 25 local historic markers in the community in Spring 2023.

Free; registration required.
