WYCK IS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK house, garden, and farm that was home to one Quaker family, the Wistar-Haineses, for nine generations (1690-1973). Today, the wonderful house and its historic gardens invite visitors to view the remarkable collections of over 10,000 objects they left behind and experience, through the lives of its owners, the changing character of Philadelphia.
Wyck’s grounds include an extremely rare example of an early American rose garden, featuring over 50 varieties of old roses bordered by boxwood hedges. Other features of the 2.5 acre site include perennial gardens, a woodlot, fruit trees, and extensive vegetable and herb gardens. Also present are an extensive collection of outbuildings from the late 18th century through the early 20th century: a smoke house, ice house, greenhouse, and carriage house.
