Mansion Tour
At the conclusion of the tour in the mansion basement, visitors see a special exhibition featuring some of the original purchases made by States Morris Dyckman while he served the quartermasters in London. Planning to build a new mansion upon his return in late 1803 after a second extended stay in London, States purchased many expensive and beautiful possessions and shipped them to New York.
