Recently went as part of my childs 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 werent running around like the kids were, I imagine the yard is pretty nice and cool in the summer. Weve 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.

The Dyckman familys 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 1800s. Its such a beautiful house, the interior is just precious. The porches are also lovely.

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 Inwoods Japanese population between the First and Second World Wars. And definitely tour the garden to see the magnificent old trees and outbuildings.

Nice old house/museum in the otherwise highly developed neighborhood of Inwood. Learned about the Dyckman family and their way of life in what was then New Amsterdam. Entrance is free and an hour is enough to visit the site.

How wonderful finding such history in upper Manhattan. The Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is a great place for children and adults. Hands on apple cider pressing. So cool!! The personnel were friendly, helpful. Wow, the army bunker was so interesting. Hey there Teo Turtle! You helped keep the kids further occupied. And thanks for the booksMy grandsons thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks. Ill be back!

It’s amazing that such a thing existed and I had no idea about it till today lol I’ve been past this house many times before and had no clue this museum was so close to home..it’s nothing fancy, but it takes you back to a time when this part of Manhattan was nothing but flat lands, and your neighbors are few in between! Oh but watch out for the low headway..always smacked myself on the low ceilings a few times and I’m not even that tall!

Absolutely loved touring this amazing farmhouse in the middle of NYC! Lots of history and very interesting portrayal of farm life. This is the original house. Not air conditioned...but we were invited to sit on the back porch of the house. Lovely gardens! Not wheelchair accessible.

A nice place with history of the bronx, I suggest bringing kids to learn about the area however make sure they do not touch anything old for risk of breaking it

You can enjoy the sun on their benches, and have lunch at the picnic tables.

A rare sight in Manhattan is an unattached home, unless youre in Inwood. But even here the Dyckman Farmhouse stands on its own overlooking the intersection. This is a great place to see maps and documents of Upper Manhattan from the 1700s through today. The Farmhouse was once part of the land that the Dyckman family owned stretching from Harlem and all the way up Manhattan. Theres a self guided tour of the house and a staff member that can answer your questions. The winter kitchen is a nice little spot as well as the Hessian huts in the backyard.

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. It was so amazing to see a perfectly preserved piece of history steps away from the busy road and city. When you are there you forget you are in one the biggest cities in the world. My girlfriend and I absolutely love this place.

Exquisite piece of history passed over by times industrial march. An easy walk from the 207th st subway station, one is struck by the apparent misplacement of the house surrounded by pharmacies and bodegas when it is first revealed. Knock on the door and someone will let you in if its within their hours posted on their website. Theres a self-guided tour of the quaint dutch farmhouse once youre inside. Dont forget to see the reproduction of a Hessian hut in the backyard.

Pros: $1 suggested entrance is reasonable. Cons: Dont expect the MOMA 5 hours of walking, the place is small and youll be done in 5-15 minutes. The best thing about the Dyckman Farmhouse is around it, the small garden can for a moment make you feel like you are not in the noisy metropolis of NYC.

One of those old historic houses in New York that progress hasnt destroyed. An authentic old dutch farmhouse with some land left around it, on which is a small garden and a couple of small buildings, representing something I cant remember, right on a hill on Broadway. The house is open weekends, at least, maybe more. Its a small house with period rooms, including bedroomd and the kitchen, with furnishings and kitchen equiptment. You can wander around at your leisure, and at least during the uptown pleasures event, and probably other times, guided tours. Also, theres a bathroom out front, so you don;t have to go to the nearby McDonalds.

To me its a fascinating place! because it takes you back, and makes you wonder how it was without so many luxuries, that we take for granted, such as electronic, and how the dykeman family keepped it together! that is until they had to flee to upstate,.newyork years later they came it was trashed! but they still remained until the next after next generation sold it.....!
