Philipsburg Manor
Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow is a restored 1750s mill where interpreters grind corn and tend livestock, centering the enslaved Africans who ran it.
Philipsburg Manor sits on the Pocantico River as a restored 1680 to 1750 trading post and farm, with a stone manor house, working grist mill, and barn. From the moment you arrive, you're watching work happen: interpreters demonstrate the milling, cooking, and daily trades that kept a colonial Hudson Valley estate running. The mill stones turn, crops move through the fields, and the whole place feels like an estate in motion.
The history of that work is inseparable from the enslaved community who powered it.
