Join King Manor for special weekday programming during the New York City school break!

Frederick Douglass chose to celebrate his birthday on February 14th. At King Manor, we will celebrate his birthday a few days late, but we will celebrate nonetheless!

Join us for a reading circle and make your own bookmark inspired by Douglass. As he once said, "Once you learn to read, you will forever be free."

Admission is free for all ages! Tickets are not required but lets our staff prepare for your arrival!
