Morris-Jumel Mansion

Time Out says

Manhattan’s oldest personal residence, this Harlem Heights abode was originally built for British governor Roger Morris but later served as General Washington’s headquarters in the early months of the Revolutionary War. Later, an elderly Aaron Burr lived here after marrying widow Eliza Brown Jumel in 1833. (They divorced a year later.) The restored interior features many of the 19th-century French decorations of which Eliza was so fond, including a master bed reportedly owned by Emperor Napoléon.

In addition to tours, you'll find frequent colonial-themed workshops, events for families and even popular ghost tours.
