Housed in a Dutch Colonial farmhouse, this museum is located on the northern tip of Manhattan. The Dyckman family was part of the Huguenot migration from the Netherlands in the 1600s. They survived Indian attacks, but were forced out during the American Revolution when the British occupied the area. Today the rebuilt house is preserved in the Colonial fashion. Several rooms in the house contain actual furniture that was owned by the family. One room has Revolutionary War relics including cannonballs, a tattered flag, uniforms and weapons. Admission is free.
