Cousins
In addition to operating the Wyckoff House Museum and Farm in Brooklyn, NY, the organization has helped connect Wyckoff cousins, no matter how you spell your name. Local chapters and annual reunions were a grand tradition for many decades. Today offer new ways to connect Wyckoff cousins who wish to share family stories, explore genealogy, and continue to support the organization.

Sustainers Circle
Our former Membership program is now called Wyckoff Sustainers Circle. Support our old reunion tradition! Support from our Wyckoff cousins saved New York City’s oldest house from demolition nearly 90 years ago. Today, your contributions continue to support the preservation of the house and the innovative educational programs that educate thousands through the story of the Wyckoff family.
Genealogy
In 2024, we welcomed our new family genealogist, Cousin Jason Wyckoff. Picking up on Lynn Wycoff’s decades of labor digitizing the ‘orange books,’ Jason bring his IT background to expand and reimagine the Wyckoff family network.
On October 17, 2024, Jason led a talk on the current state of our database, which you can watch here:

Reunions
For more than 75 years, the Wyckoff Association has been hosted regular reunions to bring together Wyckoff descendants from all over the country. These reunions were a great opportunity to meet cousins near and distant, network, socialize, and travel somewhere new.
Unfortunately our 2020 Reunion, which was planned in Kansas City was cancelled due to the pandemic. As we rebuild interest and the possibility of future reunions, we invite you to join our Sustainers Circle which includes monthly Cousins Calls on zoom. Connect with cousins, learn about shared topics of interest, and keep up with happenings at the Wyckoff House Museum and farm.
