New York City's oldest house (c. 1652), and only remaining structure from the city's period of Dutch Rule (1614-1664). This page provides occasional updates about the Wyckoff House Museum activities. The Wyckoff House Museum preserves, interprets, and operates New York City’s oldest building and the surrounding one-and-a-half acres of park. Through innovative educational and farm-based programs we build cultural and agricultural connections within our community, emphasizing immigration, family, food, and community through history.
