Germantown City Hall

Wyck, located in Philadelphia, PA, is a National Historic Landmark house, garden, and farm in the Germantown neighborhood. For nine generations (1690-1973), Wyck served as the ancestral home of a Philadelphia family, blending traditional Quaker culture with a passion for innovation. Today, the Wyck Association connects this rich history to the community through educational programs focusing on history, horticulture, and urban agriculture. Visitors can explore the 2.5-acre site featuring a colonial house with 1824 alterations by architect William Strickland, the oldest rose garden in its original plan in America, and a collection of family papers and objects spanning over 300 years. Wyck's mission is to preserve and interpret its rich history, engage learners of all ages, and strengthen the neighboring community. With a focus on education, horticulture, and preservation, Wyck offers a unique glimpse into Philadelphia's past while providing resources for modern-day urban living.
