Philipse Manor Hall State

Open for Tours 12 to 4 . Romance of George Washington and Mary Philipse was here !

A little treasury box of art and pre revolutionary history.

Absolutely wonderful St. Nicholas Day celebration. The staff and special guests did a wonderful job having crafts, hot chocolate and cookies available for for all the families. April Armstrong kept the kids engaged with her songs and stories.

This was a very interesting house. The rooms were interesting and I enjoyed the presidential portraits, as well

For anyone interested in Westchester history, this is a must-see. Set among the urban center of Yonkers, this house dates back to the 1600s and the beginnings of Yonkers. Though surrounded by buildings, you can see glimpses of the Palisades and imagine the much bigger waterway that used to come almost to the front of the house. It's a very impressive house for the time period, though mostly empty now, and walking through it you get a sense of the lifestyle of the very wealthy Loyalist family that owned it and much of Westchester up until the Revolutionary War.
