King Manor Museum

Great guide who showing us around. Appreciate her effort to tell the story of the house. Very interesting.

I visited this historic site yesterday and learned about one of the most important men in our nation's history...and I had never heard of him!!! Rufus King was a man of principles and integrity. He spoke 6 languages and amassed a personal collection of more books than the Library of Congress at the time. And he was a staunch, very outspoken advocate against slavery, as were his two sons.

It was an honor to visit his home and see his personal desk, as well as some of his own books. Many interesting artifacts in the home. There is no charge to visit, but a reservation is preferred so they may assure a guide is available.

Fox and Michael were our guides. There were only two of us. Both gentlemen were a wealth of knowledge. Michael was able to answer any question I had. So impressive. I would encourage everyone to visit because I do think they need our support.

The house is supposed to be maintained by Parks and Rec, but they haven't done a very good job and there are many needed repairs. We were told that both the Painters' Union and the Carpenters' Union have stepped up to help out pro bono, but they have ongoing needs.

Any and all donations are so appreciated. My tour mate and I both made a donation and Michael seemed genuinely thrilled.

Please support this very important place that is a part of our nation's history.

We loved it. So interesting. Im from Queens. Born here as well as my parents and their parents. And theirs too. NativeNYer

Surprisingly well preserved and beautifully curated museum. There are lots of pieces donated directly from the descendants of the family. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of details bout individual rooms and the Kings family. There were no other visitors, so we had as long as we wanted to look around and take pictures.

Great place to visit. Free guided tours with knowledgeable guides. Awesome place to bring young students to learn some of New York and American History. If you're a tourist I would highly recommend said place.

Small but love it! They have amazing activities at this museum for children. The staffs are very friendly.

Fantastic house museum of one of the founders of the nation. The docent was knowledgeable, courteous and timely. All in all a great time.
