Philipsburg Manor
Dating back to 1693, Philipsburg Manor features a working farm, a stone manor house filled with a collection of 17th- and 18th-century period furnishings and costumed re-enactors interpreting pre-Revolutionary times
Dating back to 1693, Philipsburg Manor was once a thriving milling and trading complex that was home to 23 African slaves. For more than thirty years, Frederick Philipse, his wife and son shipped hundreds of African men, women, and children as slaves across the Atlantic and by the mid-18th century, the family had one of the largest slave-holdings in the colonial North.
The English manor was named a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and the farm features a stone manor house filled with a collection of 17th- and 18th-century period furnishings. There is also a working water-powered grist mill and millpond, an 18th-century barn, a slave garden and a reconstructed tenant farm house.
Enjoy costumed interpreters as they re-enact life in pre-Revolutionary times, doing chores, milking the cows, and grinding grain in the grist mill.
