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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
