PHILIPSE MANOR HALL - KEEP IT OPEN!

New York State plans to close many state parks and historic sites as a budgetary measure. Philipse Manor Hall is one of the oldest colonial houses in the New York City area and costs a pittance to operate. Help the Friends of PMH in their campaign to keep it open to the public!

Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 5000 signatures - please sign here: Philipse Manor Hall - Keep it Open!

Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.

Thank you!
