Description: The Dyckman House, now known as the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, is the oldest remaining farmhouse on Manhattan island, a reminder of New York City's rural past. The Dutch Colonial-style farmhouse was built by William Dyckman, circa 1785, and was originally part of over 250 acres (100 ha) of farmland owned by the family. It is now located in a small park at the corner of Broadway and 204th Street in the Inwood neighborhood of the city. It was restored in 1915-16 under the supervision of architect Alexander M. Welch, and given to New York City for use as a museum.
