Dyckman Farmhouse Museum

The Dyckman House, now the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, is the oldest remaining farmhouse on Manhattan Island, a vestige of New York City's rural past. The Dutch Colonial-style farmhouse was originally part of over 250 acres of farmland owned by the Dyckman family. It’s just off 204th Street in Inwood, once home to the Dutch farmer William Dyckman, his family and enslaved Africans. The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is now owned by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, operated by the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance, and is a member of the Historic House Trust.

The I Was Here work for the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum will integrate Ancestor Spirit Portraits into spiritually and historically significant sites across the city creating an ‘on the street museum’ in Inwood. This is a model for small and large history ‘house’ museums around the country.
