  • Philipsburg Manor (sometimes referred to as Philipse Manor) was a manor located north of New York City in Westchester County in the Province of New York. Netherlands-born Frederick Philipse I and two partners made the initial purchase of land that had been part of a Dutch patroonship owned by Adriaen van der Donck. Philipse subsequently bought his partners out and added more land before being granted a royal charter in 1693 for the 52,000 acres (21,000 ha) estate, becoming its first lord. After his death, the manor was split between his son and grandson, both of whom continued its development. Among the family's numerous enterprises, the Philipses engaged in the slave trade, using their own slaves to construct most of the buildings on the Philipsburg property. The tenant farmers on the manor represented a diverse population of Europeans. The manor's property was confiscated during the American Revolution when Loyalist Frederick Philipse III, its third and final lord, was attainted for treason by New York's revolutionary government in 1779. The estate's land was used as collateral to raise money to fund the rebellion and later sold at auction. Some of the original structures still stand, including the Philipsburg Manor House in Sleepy Hollow, Philipse Manor Hall (the family seat) in Yonkers, and the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, all of which are National Historic Landmarks.

De oude handelspost doet nu dienst als museum en staat onder het beheer van de Historic Hudson Valley; de entree is niet gratis. Het huis dateert uit 1693 toen Frederick Philipse van Yonkers een pacht van 210 km² langs de Hudson kreeg toebedeeld van Willem en Maria van Engeland. Hij bouwde de Philipsburg Manor op het driestromenpunt van de Pocantico en de Hudson, om het te laten dienen als bevoorradingspunt voor plantagehouders en overgangspunt om naar de Atlantische Oceaan te varen. Meer dan 30 jaar werd de post gebruikt om slaven uit Afrika over te laten komen. (nl)
