The Dyckman House, now the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, is the oldest remaining farmhouse on Manhattan island, a vestige of New York City's rural past. The Dutch Colonial-style farmhouse was built by William Dyckman, c.1785,[3] and was originally part of over 250 acres (100 ha) of farmland owned by the family.[4] It is now located in a small park at the corner of Broadway and 204th Street in Inwood, Manhattan.[2]
