FEBRUARY 2009: The Geography of Philipse

From February 20 - 27th at 1 p.m., the staff of Philipse Manor Hall will offer a special tour entitled The Museum's Tentacles.

The museum today has tentacles extending around the world.

This tour will be offered once daily, or by request. Regular admission fees apply: Adults $5, Students/Seniors $3, Children Under 12: FREE.

Please remember that the Manor is closed to the public on Mondays.

400 Knock on the oldest door in town!

October 31, 2008: A gigantic thank-you to everyone that made our Trick-or-Treat at the Manor such a success!

400 people came to the Manor to knock on the oldest door in town, and enjoyed the house by night. We had a creepy scavenger hunt, a rollicking good time during our costume contest, a fantastic pianist from Sarah Lawrence College, and much more!

We look forward to offering more community events like this at the Manor! Thanks again, and come visit us soon!
