King Manor Museum

We had the priveledge of having a private tour because we were the only ones there that day. It was nice being able to ask all the questions we wanted and to have all the attention. My children love visiting museums and old historic homes to learn about how people lived years ago compared to today. These are trips that we treasure as a homeschooling family. I can't believe I grew up in Queens and did not know about a lot of these places that have been around for decades. I'm grateful that they are being taken care of and preserved for future generations to come.

Special place

Only viewed from outside

Oh, this museum is so much fun! They let you walk around and see all the different rooms. And there are plenty of activities to do outside, before the tour starts. And I'm remembering correctly, it's all free unless you want to buy a souvenir.

I visited today for the first time ever. My tour guide, Mike, was the best part. He was knowledgeable about every single thing asked about. A person shows when they have a passion for their subject. I was impressed! Rufus King is an important part of American Revolutionary War history and seeing his Farm Manor House up close was a treat. The kitchen, the study, the bedroom and all the rooms had beautiful detailing and are true to the time periods. There are many original works within. It is worth the time to go visit. $5 entrance fee and you need to sign up beforehand. There was one COVID tracing form to complete.
