Here’s the virtual schedule:

10 AM

Bilingual Dance Class —  Start the day with the Dance Project of Washington Heights for a bilingual Creative Movement class for families and children ages 4-9.

This unique and fun class will take place on the Dance Project of Washington Heights Facebook page or you can join the watch party on the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Facebook Page.

11 AM

Story Time — Join the Inwood Branch of the New York Public Library for a story time that will ignite your imagination, plus a magical surprise.

11:30 AM

Home-Made Herbal Elixirs —Learn how to make Echinacea and Fennel immune system boosters with Dyckman Farmhouse Museum and Boscobel House and Gardens.

These ancient indigenous medicines are easy to make and can protect you from colds, prevent inflammation, lower your sugar levels, soothe your stomach, help with asthma, and so much more!

12:15 PM

Apple Salad — Follow along with Fabiola Cáceres, Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Director of Education as she uses Dyckman Apples from Boscobel House and Gardens to create a deliciously fresh apple salad that is similar to the famous New York Waldorf Salad.

Learn how this classic has changed over time. The result is a refreshing but creamy dish with a nice crunch—perfect for lunch or even a late-day snack. (RECIPE HERE)

1 PM

Apple Cider Press — Dyckman Farmhouse Museum Alliance Board President, Don Rice, will take you through a demonstration of how an apple cider press works using the Dyckman apples from Boscobel House and Gardens.

This classic American drink was the most popular beverage of the colonial period, because pressing and fermenting apple juice was the easiest way to preserve the large fruit harvest.

2 PM

Apple Madness — Are you ready to make some apple cider at home? Don’t have a cider press? Join Fabiola Cáceres in the Garden Kitchen Lab kitchen at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum to find out an easy way to make this special treat. (RECIPE HERE)

3:00 PM

Story Time — Wind down with Johnny Appleseed at Boscobel House and Gardens with a little story time.

The Connection with Boscobel

The Dyckman family farmed this part of Northern Manhattan starting in the 1600s, as a Dutch land grant. 

They were firm patriots, and when Manhattan was “taken” by the British in the Revolutionary War, the Dyckmans fled north to their cousins, who lived in what is now Boscobnel in Cold Spring.

While the Manhattan Dyckmans were in exile in the Hudson Valley, the farmhouse was used by Hessian troops.  Some of their uniforms are on display at the museum.

NYC on the Cheap Editor Evelyn Kanter has a personal connection with the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum

I grew up a few blocks away.

I attended Jr. HS 52 across the street from the farmhouse, and when the weather was nice I often did my homework in the lovely garden in the back of the house.

I also used to do my homework in the Inwood Branch of the NYPL adjacent to the junior high school and  in the back of my mother’s hat store on Dyckman Street.

100 Things to do in NYC Before You DieThe Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is included in my recent NYC guidebook, 100 Things to Do in NYC Before You Die, as is neighborhing Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters..
