Today, the Wyckoff House Museum’s primary mission is to preserve, interpret, and operate New York’s oldest building and the surrounding one-and-a-half acres of park. Through innovative educational and farm-based programs we build cultural and agricultural connections within our community, emphasizing immigration, family, food, and community.

As a cultural institution, we strive to be a place of community collaboration and to serve as a reflection of the diverse cultural fabric, both of New York City and of our specific neighborhood at the intersection of  East Flatbush/Canarsie. The Wyckoff House Museum believes that history, immigration, inquiry, and agriculture can change how people learn and think about themselves, and how they connect, whether to their family and past, to the places they live and visit, or to what they eat and grow.
