[Artbeyondsightmuseums] The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum now offers tours for the visually impaired

[Deborah O'Neill]

The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum is pleased to offered Touch Collection  
and Verbal Description Tours of its eight beautifully furnished period  
rooms.  We would like to know if this information can be posted on  
your events page or  if you could please give us listing under museum  
offerings.

The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum is a historic house located on East 61  
Street in Manhattan that has programs for visitors of all ages.  The  
museum transports visitors back to the time when our 1799 building was  
the Mount Vernon Hotel.  Objects from the Museum handling collection  
will be available for children to explore when the hotel was a country  
retreat and most New Yorkers lived south of 14th Street.  The museum  
features 8 period rooms furnished with beautiful artifacts from the  
early 1800s.  Using sighted guided techniques, our staff and docents  
will lead your clients on an exploration of life long ago through an  
examination of our touch collection objects and a detailed verbal  
description of our lovely furnishings.

For more information, call 212 838-6878, ext. 26.  To learn more about  
the museum, please visit our website at www.mvhm.org.
