NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

Built in 1784, the Dyckman Farmhouse was owned by a single family for more than 100 years, until the late 1800s. Family members reclaimed the building in 1916 and donated it to New York City. Restored with English and early American Colonial 18th and 19th-century pieces—some of which are Dyckman family heirlooms—the house is filled with history. The Relic Room displays artifacts from the area, while the formal garden's replica of a military hut evokes the Revolutionary era. Much of upper Manhattan was farmland until the early part of this century, and the Dyckman Farmhouse, Manhattan's last Colonial farmhouse, is a remnant of New York City's strong agricultural tradition.
