The Dyckman Farmhouse
The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is a visual treat for everyone who looks up and sees it perched above Broadway at 204th Street. The Dutch colonial style farmhouse was built by William Dyckman c. 1784, immediately following the Revolutionary War. The farmhouse remained in the Dyckman family until the mid 19th century. In 1915, two Dyckman descendents purchased the house, restored and re-furnished the rooms, and gave it to the City of New York as a museum.
Today, nestled in a small park, the farmhouse is an extraordinary reminder of early Manhattan and an important part of its diverse Inwood neighborhood. The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is a property of the City of New York/Parks & Recreation, a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City and is operated with the cooperation of the two organizations. The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is a New York City Landmark, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark.
