King Manor Museum Home to the antislavery King family from 1805-1896; King Manor is your home now! Now the museum is "home" to everyone! Free to visit!

Come visit for free and enjoy our historic space, community programs, exhibits, and more. King Manor Museum is a historic house that was home to the antislavery King Family from 1805 until 1896, most notably, framer of the United States Constitution, Rufus King (1755-1827). We are a community-oriented space located inside Rufus King Park. Our mission is to interpret founding father Rufus King’s political legacy and antislavery history to teach critical thinking for a healthier democracy.

Rufus comes bearing unfortunate news: King Manor will be closed today, October 6. See you tomorrow for free tours!

‼️ UPDATE: Zine Launch with Melting Metropolis 🌳📖

Due to Saturday’s inclement weather, the zine launch at King Manor Museum is being postponed to Saturday, October 3rd, from 12pm–2pm.

We’re excited to gather with you then—and the new date also coincides with City of Forest Day, a city-wide celebration of urban tree cover!🌿 We will be partnering with the Big Reuse for a Street Tree Care event — separate registration for the Street Tree Care event is required. Head over to the link in our bio for more information!

♻️ Your previous RSVP for our Zine launch will automatically transfer to the new date, so you don't have to worry about re-registering!

We apologize for this inconvenience, but hope you can take the time to reflect on this very tangible example of climate emergency!

Stay dry and stay safe!
