Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance
Art galleryThe Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance operates the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum in Inwood, Manhattan, the last Dutch Colonial-style farmhouse remaining on the island, originally built by the Dyckman family in the late eighteenth century. Facing demolition amid the extension of the subway to northern Manhattan, the house was purchased in 1915 by descendants Mary Alice Dyckman Dean and Fannie Fredericka Dyckman Welch, who restored it with their husbands, curator Bashford Dean and architect Alexander McMillan Welch, and opened it to the public as a museum in July 1916. Today the Alliance runs guided tours, a historic garden, and public programming including the "Dyckman Discussions" talk series, a "Camp Dyckman" children's summer program, and the "Feeding Uptown" podcast, alongside exhibitions on local history including the Inwood African Burial Ground.
