Weekday Sketchers at Dyckman House Wednesday
It is hard to believe but there is an original farmhouse still standing in Manhattan! But there is! Still in its original location, standing there for centuries as the city grew up around it.
Built in 1784, this building sits on a rocky bluff above Broadway at W 204th Street. Owned by one family for 100 years, it was turned into a museum in 1916 with 1/2 an acre of gardens surrounding the stone and wooden structure. Join us on Wednesday as we take a trip back in time to the earliest days of colonial NYC. For more information about the house and the museum, click here: https://dyckmanfarmhouse.org
