King Manor Museum's collection consists of approximately 1,400 objects including furniture, ceramics, paintings and prints, musical instruments, toys, personal artifacts, glassware and costumes dating from the late 18th to the mid-19th centuries; it also includes 4,000 artifacts from ongoing archeological excavations at this site. Many objects are related to early life in Jamaica, while others are significant because of their connection to members of the King family, who called King Manor home from 1805 to 1896.
