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 on this site by William Dyckman c. 1784 and was originally part of several hundred acres of farmland owned by the family. in 1915, family descendants purchased the farmhouse, restored it and donated it to the city. It has been open to the public since 1916. Today, nestled in a small garden, the farmhouse is an extraordinary reminder of early Manhattan and an important part of its diverse Inwood neighborhood.
Mission: The mission of DFMA is to support the preservation of the historic site, to be a catalyst for engaging, adventuresome programming and to be a good neighbor and a dynamic resource for the community.

Pictured here is the manumission letter for Francis Cudjoe, an enslaved black man of Jacobus Dyckman. He was freed by Jacobus on January 11, 1809. The DyckmanDISCOVERED initiative investigates the stories of enslaved people belonging to the Dyckman family and the community that is now called Inwood. This initiative brings an inclusive history to the community, fosters a sense of transparency and, we hope, engages visitors who have not seen themselves represented in the current narrative.

As another year is nearing an end it is time to look back at all the accomplishments and look forward to all that is to come. A HUGE thank you to all our volunteers over the years who have helped accomplish so much at the farmhouse!
One of the advantages of seeing the farmhouse in the different seasons is being able to truly appreciate it as our most significant and intriguing artifact. A clear sunny winter or early spring day is "movie" season - sunlight streams through the windows and the passing activity on Broadway creates patterns of light flickering on the walls.
Changing of the Seasons! Every season we tweak the interiors of the farmhouse to show how things would have changed during the year - we add new objects, move furniture, change signage and experiment with sounds and smells (yes, the apples will be back.) Over the next few weeks, our fall scenes will be installed as we get ready for the Historic House Trust Festival October 5-7. Here is a view of our latest experiment for when it is cold enough to bring back the "fires" to Dyckman.
A glimpse of life at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum - sometimes everyone can get along. (glitch from earlier posting resolved)
A little slice of life at Dyckman - its nice that everyone gets along! (sometimes)
