The Dyckman House
Architecture

With its gambrel roof and brick and fieldstone lower walls,
the small farmhouse shows a strong Dutch influence. The summer kitchen
at the south end may predate the rest of the house; the front and back
porches were added in 1825.
There are period rooms including parlors and a colonial kitchen,
as well as exhibits of artifacts from the area. To add to its splendor,
a lovely porch is attached where one can sit and view the pedestrians as
they pass along Broadway. On the grounds are a smokehouse and a military
hut that were used during the British occupation.
