Merchant's House Museum

The Merchant's House Museum is the only intact family home in NYC from the 1800s. Both the interior and exterior are preserved. The Merchant's House was once known as the Old Merchant's House and as the Seabury Tredwell House. It was built in 1832 and was turned into a museum more than 100 years later. In the 1960s, it was designated a New York City landmark and today it's the only historic house museum in its neighborhood. The museum's collection has more than 3,000 objects from the Tredwell family who occupied it for much of its existence as a house. Here are some of the "must see" items at Merchant's House Museum.
