Philipsburg Manor was once part of a 52,000 acre estate owned by Dutch immigrant Frederick Philipse, who used the manor house as part of an extensive commercial complex operated mainly by enslaved Africans and tenant farmers from various parts of Europe. Today visitors can take a step back in time to 1750 as they tour this working museum.

The Manor House is filled with 17th and 18th century antiques and period furnishings and you can see a working water-powered grist mill and millpond. Costumed docents bring the history to life. Highlights include the slave garden, and a reconstructed tenant farm house. The house is rumored to be haunted and the manor hosts a “spirited” annual Halloween Ghost Tour.
