This Dutch Colonial house was built by farmer Cornelius Van Wyck in multiple phases, beginning with a simple of to three room dwelling in 1732 and ending with an elaborate addition sometime before 1757. Today the home contains original woodwork, archaeological relics from the depot,18th & 19th Century furniture, and portraits by noted itinerant painter Ammi Phillips. Displays also highlight various Colonial crafts, including woodworking and weaving. A self-guided trail takes visitors past historic monuments and the foundations of farm outbuildings.
