Preservation Long Island's Joseph Lloyd Manor Open for Tours

Tour Joseph Lloyd Manor! Open Saturdays and Sundays through October 5th. Tours are available at 11:00AM, 12:30PM, and 2:00PM.

Joseph Lloyd Manor was completed in 1767 for Joseph Lloyd (1716–1780). Here, Jupiter Hammon, one of America's first published black writers, composed his best-known works while enslaved by the Lloyd family.

This guided tour will lead visitors through the first and second floor of the Manor, and will provide visitors the opportunity to consider and discuss the complicated history of a successful merchant family divided by war alongside the perspective of a man in bondage reflecting on liberty in the newly formed United States.
