Van Wyck Homestead, Dutch colonial house in Fishkill, United States.
The Van Wyck Homestead features original woodwork, period antiques, and archaeological artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries displayed across multiple rooms.
Built in 1732 by Cornelius Van Wyck, this residence served as headquarters for the Fishkill Supply Depot during the Revolutionary War, supporting the Continental Army.
The homestead exhibits portraits by itinerant painter Ammi Phillips and displays traditional Colonial crafts including woodworking and weaving techniques.
The museum welcomes visitors from June through October on Saturdays and Sundays between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, with free admission and accepted donations.
The property hosted a mock trial of Continental spy Enoch Crosby, whose story inspired James Fenimore Cooper to create a character in his novel The Spy.
