Philipsburg Manor, Sleepy Hollow

About Philipsburg Manor

Philipsburg Manor, a mill and trading complex in Sleepy Hollow where visitors cross a millpond bridge to explore the gristmill and learn about Caesar, an enslaved miller whose expertise built the Philipse family's wealth. The Manor House dairy in the cellar reveals the work of Dina, Massey, and Sue, women who operated commercial butter production on the site. Exhibits use primary documents to trace family relationships and personal histories of the enslaved community who lived and labored here in 1750, showing how they maintained family networks and cultural heritage despite the system that bound them. Timed tickets are sold online through the venue's site, with discounted admission available for advance purchases compared to same-day rates. The historic site charges admission with several tiers published online. A visit suits those interested in colonial New York history told from the perspective of the enslaved people whose labor sustained the complex. Philipsburg Manor operates select dates throughout the season in Sleepy Hollow, New York.
