Manhattan’s Last Farmhouse / Live from New Amsterdam

When the Dyckman Farmhouse was built in 1784, the area around it was farmland. Now, it sits at the bustling corner of Broadway and 204th Street in Inwood. Join Deborah Hamer as she talks to Melissa Kiewiet, the executive director of the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance about the history of the house, the new work being done to reveal more about the enslaved people who labored in the house, and how the house has become an important contemporary exhibition space.
