Wyck Association.

Hide Profile

One of the oldest houses in Philadelphia, Wyck was inhabited by nine generations of the Jansen, Wistar, and Haines families from, the 1680s until 1973. The last owners deeded 2.5 acres of land, the house and its contents, several outbuildings, a landscaped garden, and a small endowment to the Wyck Charitable Trust. The Wyck Charitable Trust and the Wyck Association now administer the preservation of the property and its educational services to the public.
