Participants will learn about those who have shaped the stories of Inwood, including the Lenape, Revolutionary War soldiers, the Dyckman Family, free and enslaved African people, and present-day residents of Northern Manhattan.
Join us for a free, in-person lecture about the American Revolution and Northern Manhattan history at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Nearly 250 years ago, in November 1776, Dyckman was consumed by warfare. Thousands of British and Hessian soldiers attacked the hillsides and overwhelmed the American defenses there.
