Preserving, cultivating and sharing historic Sylvester Manor includes achieving permanent conservation of 121 acres, restoration of the 1810 Windmill, and commencement of the multi-year rehabilitation of the 1737 Manor House.
A uniquely intact historic site of conscience, Sylvester Manor ensures that histories of the Indigenous, Enslaved and Free People of Color join with those of European-descent for a more complete narrative of past and present.
Sylvester Manor has been actively farming over 60 acres with vegetables, fruit and livestock since 2008.
