If you love history, architecture, and folks who are engaging about these topics please visit the Dyckman Farmhouse museum. Fabiola and Holly are extremely knowledgeable about the place and surrounding area! (they will answer any question you have about the house and surrounding area) The care put into this place by everyone who is involved is very apparent. Really enjoyed my time here when I visited on October 2nd. What's super cool is in the back is a rebuilt Hessian hut using all original materials found on the old lands of the Dyckman property. This truly is a hidden gem in Manhattan. Tickets are required to see this place but they are super affordable ($ 3 on their website and no fees) and well worth the admission. Another highlight is you can do a self-guided tour and take your time admiring all the rooms in the house. What else needs to be said: please visit this great museum! Tip: they do keep the door in the front locked however just knock and someone will greet you.

Fascinating Dutch farm house in Inwood. Shines light on the relatively unknown history of slavery in New York. The "Hessian hut" on the property is equally fascinating. The staff and in particular the guide to the Hessian hut were super nice and knowledgeable.

The Dyckman family's homestead. Well preserved and a hidden jewel of the neighborhood. Most pass it by without giving it a glance. I enjoy walking the grounds taking in the flowers and imagining what this area was like in the 1800's. It's such a beautiful house, the interior is just precious. The porches are also lovely.

Recently went as part of my child's class trip, it was very interesting plus a lot of fun for kids and adults alike. The children were able to eat their lunch on the picnic benches in the backyard, it was a chilly day so the adults were freezing since we weren't running around like the kids were, I imagine the yard is pretty nice and cool in the summer. We've also been there as a family for their Fall Festival (some pictures are from then) and we had a lot of fun, drinking beer and apple cider. Very nice historical place to visit.

A previous reviewer, Monica Matos, put it aptly, "a hidden jewel". I will not go into the history, as I often do on many of my reviews but suffice to say that the farmhouse was probably already built by circa 1784, and the Dyckman museum site does a great job on the history ( https://dyckmanfarmhouse.org/ ). What I will point out is the notion that the farm stretched from the Hudson River to the Harlem, imagine that. All the buildings, large and small, as far as you can see, came after. Quite amazing the place has survived and been preserved here in the heart of such a densely populated area.

Incredible history, beautifully preserved, and I really appreciate that those who are in charge of preserving and honoring this historic site also discuss the history of the many enslaved and free people who built and made this house what it is. They honor all parts of the Dyckman Farmhouse history and they are actively working to find as much information as they can. Such a wild thing to see in New York City and to be able to walk through it was a walk back in time.

It's a nice quaint museum in Northern Mahanttan Inwood neighborhood.

A lovely historical venue, for anyone who would like to time travel back 235 years. As an added bonus, interesting contemporary artwork complementing the antique interior furnishings, and quite an interesting exhibit on Inwood's Japanese population between the First and Second World Wars. And definitely tour the garden to see the magnificent old trees and outbuildings.

Really interesting to see the history of this location and farm. Has signs everywhere explaining what life was like, as well as artifacts they found before building the house.

The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is one of the best historic houses I have ever been to and given the chance to intern at. Their dedication to social justice, as demonstrated through their programs and events, such as their DyckmanDISCOVERED initiative, which creates an inclusive historical narrative, supports transparency, and encourages open discussions on race, really goes to show how important it is for museums to keep pushing against the typical white narrative and lift up underrepresented narratives. Their staff and volunteers are great! I highly recommend visiting!

I loved, LOVED this museum. Highly recommended. A lot of cool history—obviously much of it long-ago farm history, such as tools and way-of-life artifacts and pieces. Beautiful property and highly interesting.

Very interesting because of the history of the house. Nice and knowledgeable volunteer guide. The grounds and the small house at the back should be part of your tour as well

I still can’t believe there is a farmhouse from 1784 in the middle of Inwood surrounded by restaurants, schools, houses. Been wanted to chexk it out for years but today we only took pictures outside as it is closef on Tuesdays. Little gem.

Beautiful little slice of history in NYC. Interns working are knowledgeable and friendly. They host free community and education events that are a delight. They don’t gloss over the dark sides of history and are looking to broaden their understanding of what people’s stories went untold in the area (enslaved people, Indigenous people, etc). Highly recommend!

It is a wonderful place to see and learn, how mr.Dyckman and his family lived on the farm.

Great little museum! Worth the trip! An interesting look into New York's past!

Very fascinating! The Destin for the history of northern Manhattan.

I'm glad this place is still standing. But standing is about all it is. There's no visible upkeep of the place, and what little focus there is, is clouded by viewing the 18th century through 21st century mores.

OMG! Awesome! Awesome place! If you like antiques, relics, and all that cool stuff go and visit!

An incredible piece of history. All of Manhattan was once farms and forests. This little building is a time capsule of the past.

10/22/22 Hidden history gem in Washington Heights. There was an event in the day for the kids and an adults Oktoberfest after 4pm.

Descent small museum, worth a quick 30 minute visit. Very old, from the 1700's.

Really nice! During our visit the front door was locked and didn’t realize you have to go to the back to enter, there was no sign and we waited at the front door for a while to be let in. Just FYI
