If you love history, architecture, and folks who are engaging about these topics please visit the Dyckman Farmhouse museum. Fabiola and Holly are extremely knowledgeable about the place and surrounding area! (they will answer any question you have about the house and surrounding area) The care put into this place by everyone who is involved is very apparent. Really enjoyed my time here when I visited on October 2nd. What's super cool is in the back is a rebuilt Hessian hut using all original materials found on the old lands of the Dyckman property. This truly is a hidden gem in Manhattan. Tickets are required to see this place but they are super affordable ($ 3 on their website and no fees) and well worth the admission. Another highlight is you can do a self-guided tour and take your time admiring all the rooms in the house. What else needs to be said: please visit this great museum! Tip: they do keep the door in the front locked however just knock and someone...

I visited this wonderful little museum on Friday 04 October. I was on vacation from Liverpool (UK), staying in Harlem. I always planned to visit, and was glad that I did. It's an atmospheric place. You can feel the history there. Both young staff members (one male, one female) were very pleasant on the day that I visited. It's remarkable really, that this place still exists in Manhattan. General Admission is only $3. Crazy with today's prices. I spent the rest of the day exploring Inwood's lovely parks. I then had some nice food and a few beers in a couple of local bars before heading back to Harlem. I liked Inwood, and I will...
