The Joseph Lloyd Manor house was once the center of a 3,000-acre plantation established in the late 17th century on the ancestral lands of the Matinecock Nation. Jupiter Hammon (1711–before 1806), one of the first published African American writers, was one of the many people of African descent enslaved at the site. The British occupied Joseph Lloyd Manor during the Revolutionary War, and it is where Hammon authored his most significant works about the moral conflicts of slavery and freedom in the early United States.
The house remained in the Lloyd family until 1876, eventually becoming the country house of Mrs. Anna Matheson Wood (1882–1980), who donated the property to Preservation Long Island in 1968. Today, Joseph Lloyd Manor is recognized as a national Literary Landmark in honor of Jupiter Hammon.
Please note that because this is an 18th century home and some spaces are tight, the tour is limited to 17 participants. If there is a lot of interest, we will start a waitlist.
