Tickets were sold out but the sounded a little pricey for the tour. Was able to see the Manor from a distance. You need to get tickets early if you want the tour.
October is the perfect time of the year to visit this historic place. Whether you are into history or just into getting spooked, Philipsburg Manor is a place to go if you are in Sleepy Hollow.
On a late summer evening, my family and I took a trip to Sleepy Hollow, NY, to visit the Philipsburg Manor. The place was peaceful and uncrowded, with several storytellers in character explaining the history of the manor, specifically the history of those who kept the dynamic production of goods alive and well– I'm talking about the enslaved.
Enslaved men like Caesar, Diamond, and others are introduced in this grand narrative with admiration for the labor and commitment they manifested regardless of their forced subjugation by the Philipse family. From the Gristmill to the picturesque Home Garden, the story of the enslaved was told with precision and respect to their assigned trade. Overall, this is a great place to spend a few hours with the family.

An interesting tour that takes through a historic farm and business that was supplied by slave labor... the tour takes you through the mill, the home, and craft, the barn and gardens. Photography isn't allowed in the house. Different guides dressed in period garments take you through each different area.
Nicely restored. Beautiful place.
The information from staff is definitely politically motivated. Whoever scripted the narrative definitely disregards a lot of other nationalities in our worldwide historical human trafficking. I guess just one more historical rewrite .

Close by and visited various bldgs and there was also a festival w music. Very historical and educational.
We had a beautiful day to enter into the Year 1750. They had 23 slaves who worked on the farm. We learned about their jobs. It was a very educated tour. They have a gift shop. They
welcome bus tours. It’s not for scooters and wheelchairs. The house and grist mill has
steps to walk. Bathrooms are in the gift shop. The Manor is in the town of Sleepy Hollow.

I did enjoy the tour to the Philipsburg Manor for its story, beauty and friendly staff. This tour teaches the story of the manor around 1750 and the people that lived there.
The tour was of 4 parts, the mill where the flour was done, the kitchen where the butter and meals were prepared, the barn where the wheat was processed and stored, and finally the oven where the dry bread was cooked and then sold for the army or the ships.
Every part was given for a different person and each of them were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
