Historic home of Rufus King: Founding Father, framer of the Constitution, and early voice in the anti-slavery movement.

Rufus King (1755 – 1827) was a framer and signer of the United States Constitution, a U.S. Senator, and a passionate antislavery advocate throughout his life. He and his family lived at King Manor over three generations, with a dedication to improving their 160 acres of land and developing it as a successful working farm. Today, King Manor is a historic house museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting King’s legacy and early American life in Jamaica, Queens through annual festivals, family programming, concerts, and workshops.
