Manumit School

This site is dedicated to the Fincke family who founded Manumit School in 1924 in Pawling NY.
And also to Ben and Billy Fincke and the many teachers and staff who made the idea of Manumit real to the students who were privileged to attend from 1924 through 1957
when the school was forced to close by the actions of the State Board of Private Academic Schools of Pennsylvania.
