The Dyckman Farmhouse, Manhattan's Last Farmhouse

On a busy corner of Broadway in Inwood stands the Dyckman Farmhouse, built in the Dutch Colonial style around 1784 and, as the museum puts it, the last farmhouse in Manhattan. It opened as a museum in 1916 and sits in a half-acre park with a garden, a small survivor from the centuries when northern Manhattan was farmland. The museum is frank about that history, acknowledging both the Munsee Lenape people who were removed from this land and the enslaved Africans who were forced to work it for local Dutch farmers.

General admission is $3 as of October 2026 and covers a self-guided visit any time on the day you choose; Inwood and Washington Heights residents and children under 3 get in free, and the garden is always free. Buy online through Eventbrite or at the front desk, with a limit of five tickets per order, and give yourself plenty of time, because it closes sharply. There's no parking on site. Take the A or 1 train to 207th Street and walk south to 204th, then continue to Inwood Hill Park.
