Our top priority is ensuring the safety of our visitors, staff and surrounding community.
In an effort to promote ample access to fresh air, Wyckoff-Fidler Park and grounds will continue regular open hours. We hope the park provides a respite for you during these challenging times.
However, to ensure the safety of our visitors and staff and to support the City’s effort to promote social distancing, the Wyckoff House Museum is closed to the public beginning March 13 and continuing through April 2.
The following events will be postponed (dates TBD): the March 21, 2020 Farmhouse Family Day: Women’s Art, Women’s Work; our April 4, 2020 Creative Homesteading: Natural Dyeing with Black Walnuts. We will be assessing the health recommendations from the CDC and the Department of Health in order to make an assessment on future programming. Please revisit this page for evolving information.
As of today, our offices remain open and we plan to reopen the museum to the public on April 3, 2020 as scheduled. If you wish to get in touch with us before then, please send an email to info@wyckoffmuseum.org.
The Wyckoff House Museum cherishes its mission to build connections in our community through our educational and agricultural programs at New York City’s oldest building and the surrounding one-and-a-half acres of park. We are so grateful to everyone who supports our work and this place—we need you. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Wyckoff House Museum as soon as it is safe to do so.

Around the Farmhouse
The Wyckoff Farmhouse is located on the border of East Flatbush and Canarsie neighborhoods. The surrounding neighborhood was mostly built up in he middle of the twentieth century. Today it is mainly made up of residential row houses and light industrial lots. The 1941 Brooklyn Terminal Market, New York City’s second largest produce market, is located a few short blocks away. One block to our North is Samuel J. Tilden high school, built in 1929.
If you are visiting with kids, you can stop by Harry Maze park on Avenue D between E. 56th and E. 57th street. Restaurant options are limited in the surrounding area. Enjoy popular Caribbean cuisine (famous for their Rasta Pasta) at Footprints Cafe next door or check out Suede for finer dining a few doors down. McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts are also nearby.
If you want to check out other local historic houses, we recommend the Lott House, which is not open to the public, but the grounds and exterior have been restored. It is worth a drive by as is the Wyckoff Bennet Homestead, which is a private home. You can also visit the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church, founded in 1654 an where Pieter Wyckoff’s family was buried.
