Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is owned by the New York Department of Parks & Recreation and is a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City
The founding father of our Dyckman family was Jan Dyckman, who arrived in New Amsterdam in the 1600′s from Westphalia. By the time of the American Revolution, the Dyckman family homestead was located roughly near 210th Street and the East River and Jan’s grandson William had inherited Dyckman land from his father. During the British occupation of Manhattan in 1776-1783, William Dyckman and his family sought refuge in upstate New York.
When the War ended, William returned to find the family home and orchards destroyed. It is believed that he immediately began building a new house, but chose a new location — directly on Kingsbridge Road (Broadway).
