History
1
This eighteenth-nineteenth century manor was home to Rufus King, signer of the U.S. Constitution and an early voice in the anti-slavery movement. His son, John A. King, Governor of New York State from 1857-1859, lived here later. More than three generations of the King family lived here, working one hundred sixty acres as a successful farm with fairly paid workers and an interest in developing American agricultural techniques.
