Since 2015, the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum has emphasized the importance of telling a complete history of our site, including the farmhouse’s history as a site of enslavement. In 2023, we hired a research consultant, Ramin Ganeshram, to dive deeper into this history. Ramin searched through archives to continue our research on enslavement, with a primary focus on culinary history, colonial kitchens, and Lenape influences on cooking in the 18th century. In this talk, attendees will hear about the discoveries made during this project.
In addition, attendees will hear from the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s Executive Director, Melissa Kiewiet, about how the museum plans to use this research. Melissa will discuss the museum’s reinterpretation plans, beginning with a new exhibition in our basement kitchen that uses Ramin’s new research.

Envisioning Seneca Village

Envisioning Seneca Village
February 26th at 12PM
VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM

By Gergely Baics, Meredith Linn, Leah Meisterlin, and Myles Zhang
Seneca Village was a community established by African American landowners in 1825 and destroyed by the City of New York in 1857 for the construction of Central Park. Research beginning in the 1990s has shed light on the once-forgotten village: a stable, successful, rural home to dozens of families. Much is still unknown, however, and no images or above-ground traces remain, making imagining the village challenging. This talk presents Envisioning Seneca Village, an interactive 3D model of what the village might have looked like in 1855. The project’s coauthors will discuss how they combined ongoing research in archaeology, history, historical geographic information systems (GIS), and architectural rendering to build the model; their plans for future improvements; and their aims for the project to both catalyze new research and keep the memory of Seneca Village alive in the present.

Seneca Village fue una comunidad establecida por terratenientes afroamericanos en 1825 y destruida por la ciudad de Nueva York en 1857 para la construcción de Central Park. Las investigaciones iniciadas en la década de 1990 han sacado a la luz la aldea una vez olvidada: un hogar rural estable, exitoso y hogar de docenas de familias. Sin embargo, aún se desconoce mucho y no quedan imágenes ni rastros superficiales, lo que dificulta imaginar la aldea. Esta charla presenta “Envisioning Seneca Village” (Imaginando Seneca Village), un modelo 3D interactivo de cómo podría haber sido la aldea en 1855. Los coautores del proyecto discutirán cómo combinaron la investigación en curso en arqueología, historia, sistemas de información geográfica histórica (SIG) y representación arquitectónica para construir el modelo; sus planes para futuras mejoras; y sus objetivos para que el proyecto impulse nuevas investigaciones y mantenga viva la memoria de Seneca Village en el presente.

Archaeological Walking Tour with Bill Parry

This archaeological tour of Inwood Hill Park and vicinity (at the northern tip of Manhattan Island) will visit the last surviving remnants of prehistoric Native American sites in Manhattan. We will get an impression of the ancient environment of Manhattan by seeing forest, springs, and salt marsh. We will next visit a shell midden site, rockshelters, and the former location of a large native village and burial site. We also will see sites of the Revolutionary War, including the site of a hut camp occupied by British soldiers (and the former Dyckman family orchard).

We will conclude at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, where we will see a reconstruction of one of the military huts and enjoy free admission to the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum at the end of the tour.

This event will not be held in the event of rain. It is still advisable to wear sturdy, comfortable shoes, as there is a bit of walking over rocks, off path.

DATE: April 26th at 1pm

Meet at the main flagpole inside Inwood Hill Park (this is the flagpole on the line of 207th Street, beyond the restrooms).

For the first installment of Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s History in Focus 2025, we will be hearing from Dr. Andrew Rasmussen, a Professor of Psychology and head of the Culture, Migration, and Community research group at Fordham University.

Dr. Rasmussen will present findings from three studies from two decades of research with various West African immigrant groups.

Findings point to challenges often reported by new immigrants related to child-rearing and resolving spousal conflict. Parents’ concerns about children acting “American” are exacerbated by a fear of child protective services, leaving parents feeling at a loss for how they can stay true to their cultures’ strict values concerning child rearing. Children, who acculturate faster than their parents, often appreciate close monitoring and even strict discipline by parents but also feel they are somewhat limited by it. Spousal conflict also appears to be related to more conservative cultural norms, but is also related to the necessity of two-income households in the city.
Findings from all three studies are integrated to build a model of social problem-solving in West African communities, one that includes family members, neighbors, and community leaders, and then also state actors (police and welfare officials).

The second session of Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s History in Focus 2025 will be led by Dr. Tyler Anbinder, a Professor of History at George Washington University with a specialization in nineteenth-century America and the history of immigration and ethnicity in American life.
Dr. Anbinder will discuss his new book, “Plentiful Country: The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York,” and how it upends what we thought we knew about the Famine Irish in New York and beyond.
In 1845, a fungus began to destroy Ireland’s potato crop, triggering a famine that would kill one million Irish men, women, and children—and drive over one million more to flee to America. The United States was utterly transformed by this stupendous migration, nowhere more than in New York. By 1855, one out of every three adults living in Manhattan was a refugee who had escaped the hunger in Ireland. These so-called “Famine Irish” were consigned at first to the lowest-paying jobs and subjected to discrimination and ridicule by their new countrymen. Even today, the popular perception of these immigrants is one of destitution and despair. But it turns out that the Famine immigrants did far better, far more quickly, than we have previously realized.

New York’s history has long been the history of migrants and newcomers. Since the days of Dutch New Amsterdam, waves of migrants—some voluntary, some not—have continually remade the city. Historically, immigrants have accounted for almost all of the City’s population growth as well as its emergence as a center of economic activity and cultural innovation.
Despite its long history of ethnic and racial conflict, New Yorkers have generally been more favorably disposed towards immigration—if not necessarily towards all groups of immigrants– than most Americans. However, last year’s influx of refugees, many of whom were bused to New York, has presented the city with new challenges. The mayor described this influx as “unprecedented” and feared that it could “destroy the city”. More recently the policies of the Trump administration have framed migration as a “crisis” and local and federal policies have increasingly come into conflict.
For the FINAL presentation of History in Focus 2025, Dr. Philip Kasinitz will explore some of the history of how New York has received immigrants and discuss what is and is not new about the present situation. Dr. Kasinitz will also present the surprising findings of a new survey on attitudes towards migrants among today’s New Yorkers.
Philip Kasinitz is Presidential Professor of Sociology and director of the Advanced Research Collaborative at the City University of New York Graduate Center, where he founded the Master’s program in International Migration Studies. His co-authored book Inheriting the City: The Children of Immigrants Come of Age received the American Sociological Association Distinguished Book Award and the Eastern Sociological Society’s Mira Komarovsky Book award. Other recent works include Growing Up Muslim in Europe and the United Sates and Global Cities, Local Streets. Former President of the Eastern Sociological Society, he serves on The Russell Sage Foundation’s committee on Race, Ethnicity and Immigration and the Historical Advisory Committee of the Ellis Island Museum.
This program is supported, in part, by, the Honorable Carmen De La Rosa, New York City Council, District 10.

Back Porch History 2025: "The Amazing Story of the Dyckman Farmhouse" with Don Rice
2025-07-16 18:00 - 19:00 | Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, 4881 Broadway, New York, NY, 10034-3101, United States
What’s the most historic thing in Inwood? For many, the DYCKMAN FARMHOUSE would be at the top of the list. It’s not only a national landmark, it’s one of the oldest structures in Manhattan. The name Dyckman appears all over the neighborhood – on streets, schools, shops, subway stations, ballfields, basketball tournaments. What is its story? When was it built, who lived there, and why is it still around?
On June 26th at 6pm, DFMA trustee Don Rice will present The Amazing Story of the Dyckman Farmhouse, a recently researched tour-de-force that pulls together everything we know about this fascinating and historic structure. Using primary documents and rarely-seen images and maps we’ll trace the history of Inwood’s oldest home, and even make a few guesses about its future.

Date: Wednesday, July 16th 2025
Time: 6pm-7pm
Place: Dyckman Farmhouse Museum (on the corner of 204th and Broadway)
