 residence, country house, Colonial (architecture)

Ringwood Manor was home to a number of well-known ironmasters from the 1740s to the late 19th century. During the American Revolution, Robert Erskine managed ironmaking operations from Ringwood, and became George Washington's first geographer and Surveyor-General, producing maps for the Continental army; Washington visited the Manor House several times. Ringwood iron was used in the famous Hudson River Chain, and for tools and hardware for the army. One of the Manor's last owners was Abram S. Hewitt, ironmaster, educator, lawyer, U.S. Congressman, and mayor of New York City.

The Manor is part of a National Historic Landmark District and is open for tours from Wednesday through Sunday year round from 10 am to 3pm. The existing mansion was started in 1807 and added to for a period of over 100 years. The manor displays architecture from the Federal through the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
