Philipsburg Manor, Sleepy Hollow

About Philipsburg Manor

Philipsburg Manor is a mill and trading complex in Sleepy Hollow where visitors cross a millpond bridge to explore the gristmill, manor house, dairy, and barn on a guided or self-guided tour. Costumed educators lead groups through hands-on demonstrations that reveal the lives of enslaved individuals who labored here, including Caesar the miller and Dina, Massey, and Sue, who operated commercial butter production in the manor house cellar. Guided tours last approximately one hour and forty-five minutes with walking indoors and outdoors plus stairs; self-guided visitors explore at their own pace. The site suits families and history learners interested in colonial New York and the experiences of enslaved communities through primary documents and personal narratives. Admission is charged at multiple price levels, with tickets sold online on the venue's site. Advance purchase tickets cost less than same-day admission, according to hudsonvalley.org.
