Longwood Manor
A staple in the City of Macedonia, Longwood Manor was built in 1924. Its architectural style is Tudor Revival, which was popular among the wealthy in America in the early 1900s.
The Manor sits on 300 acres of land that belonged to Col. William Frew Long, the first mayor of Macedonia and a veteran of World War I and II. His land and home, the Manor, were given to the citizens of Macedonia for use as a public park in accordance with his will upon his death in 1984.
The property and its events are managed by the Longwood Manor Historical Society, a group of volunteers dedicated to preserving the history of Macedonia. LMHS is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and is registered as a volunteer committee with the City of Macedonia, with the primary goal of restoring the Manor to its original condition to serve as a public gathering space, museum and the headquarters of the organization.
The restoration and updates being made to the Manor are being funded by monetary donations, membership fees, fundraising events, and grants. Some of the contractors have even provided their services at cost.
