Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site
New York was one of the most diverse of the thirteen colonies, thanks to its Dutch colonial roots. Religious and racial diversity meant that colliding cultures had different ideas of how to treat women. Learn about women's rights (or lack thereof) in Munsee, Iroquois, African, Dutch, and English culture, and how enslaved women's rights changed over time. Learn about women's roles in everyday life, uprisings, and war. Meet individual women like Dutch she-merchant Margaret Hardenbroek De Vries Philipse, Esopus sachem Mamanuchqua, Jewish merchant Rebecca Gomez, Revolutionary War soldier Deborah Sampson, and more. Join Philipse Manor Hall's Sarah Wassberg Johnson at the Boardman Road Branch of the Poughkeepsie Library for this special program.

Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site
Celebrate the spooky season in Westchester County! Join us in-person in the Gothic Chamber as we watch Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow" (1999, R). Based on the Washington Irving tale by the same name, "Sleepy Hollow" is set in 1799 New York where young police constable Ichabod Crane investigates a series of murders in the rural town of Sleepy Hollow. We'll hear from Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site manager Michael Lord with commentary on what is and isn't accurate to Irving's story, the Hudson Valley's Dutch heritage, and the history of late 18th century New York. "Sleepy Hollow" is rated R and is not recommended for young audiences.
