MANOR TODAY

Longwood Manor was built in 1924; this original building was destroyed by fire and the Manor was rebuilt in 1926. It's architectural style is Tudor Revival which was popular among the wealthy in America in the early 1900's.

We are a group of volunteers dedicated to Preserving the History of Macedonia. LMHS is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization, and is registered as a volunteer Committee with the City of Macedonia, Our primary goal is to restore the Manor to it's original condition so it can serve as a public gathering space, Museum and the headquarters of our organization

The Manor sits on 300 acres of land that belonged to Colonel William Frew Long the founding Mayor of the city pf Macedonia and a Veteran of World War I and II.
