Noelle shares the story of the haunted Morris-Jumel Mansion of Manhattan This episode features: 1. The home was originally built as a modest summer home for Colonel Roger Morris and his wife Mary Philipse on 135 acres of land. No biggie. 2. George Washington and his soldiers moved in and used the house as a headquarters during the Revolutionary War. 3. After the war, the house is purchased by Eliza and Stephen Jumel for $2,000 less than the asking price due to Eliza's shrewd business sense. 5. The local elites were not fans of Eliza. Sounds like we've got a Real House Wives of the Revolution going on here. 4. Aaron Burr mismanages a whole lot of money. That guy can't seem to get a break. Sweet Dreams. XoxoZzzzzz.
