Philipsburg Manor House

Common card · No. 409974

Philipsburg Manor House is a historic site in the Upper Mills section of the former sprawling Colonial-era estate known as Philipsburg Manor. Together with a water mill and trading site, the house is operated as a non-profit museum by Historic Hudson Valley. It is located on US Route 9 in the village of Sleepy Hollow, New York. Although Philipsburg Manor was established by a royal charter granted by King William III of England, it is listed by some sources with the patroonships of New Netherland, since it incorporated part of a patroonship previously owned by the colonial Dutch landowner Jonkheer Adriaen van der Donck. The Baltus Van Tassel farmhouse, home of Katrina Van Tassel in Washington Irving's famous story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, may have been based on Philipsburg Manor House.
