About King Manor Museum
Location:
150-03 Jamaica Avenue, JAMAICA, NY 11432, US
Mission Statement
King Manor Museum interprets founding father Rufus King's political legacy and antislavery history to teach critical thinking for a healthier democracy.
Description
King Manor was the home and farm of Founding Father Rufus King from 1805 to 1827. King was an author of the U.S. Constitution, as well as one of New York's first United States Senators, Ambassador to Great Britain and opponent of slavery. It later became the estate of King's son, John Alsop King, who served as New York's Governor. The only historic house museum in Southeast Queens, King Manor serves a largely minority and immigrant community and engages its audiences through historic site tours, interactive exhibits, lectures, public programs, and school and community outreach. Collections management, preservation, and architectural, archaeological and historical research are continuous activities at the museum. Our goal is to make history relevant and immediate, and to foster an awareness of the roots of the present and a deeper appreciation of history as an on-going process.
