Wyck Historic House And Garden

In Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood, Wyck is a historic house, garden, and farm that served as one family's home for nine generations, from 1690 to 1973. The site includes a colonial house, historic outbuildings, gardens, and collections of family papers and objects. House tours are offered Thursday through Saturday, while the grounds are open for public access on set days. Programs connect local history with horticulture and urban agriculture, using the site's buildings, landscape, and collections for learning. The Home Farm grows food for an on-site club and serves as an outdoor classroom for children and adults, while preserving historic agricultural traditions. The gardens include a rose garden, perennial plantings, fruit trees, and vegetable and herb plots.
