The Lower Makefield Historical Society will sponsor a guided tour of the historic Wyck House in Germantown, Philadelphia on Saturday, October 18th. This home, which was begun in 1690 and is the oldest home in Germantown, is a historic mansion, museum, and garden on more than 2 acres. It has been inhabited by 9 generations of the same Quaker family, the Wistars and Haines, who owned it from 1689 to 1973. The British used Wyck as a field hospital after the Battle of Germantown. A reception was given for Marquis de Lafayette in 1825. The Wyck Association now operates the home and welcomes visitors.
Also of interest is a rose garden, cultivated since the 18th Century and known for the collection of heirloom roses. Following the guided tour, we will travel to a nearby restaurant for lunch, for anyone who desires.
Cost of the tour is $5 for adults and $4 for students and seniors. No special ID is required to gain admittance. Food and flash cameras are banned from the residence.
We will meet at the Park & Ride, near Interstate 95 and Taylorsville Road, at 9:30 AM for carpooling to Wyck for the 11:00 AM tour.
To make reservations, call Robert Innis at (215) 493-2354 or email to robinnis@prodigy.net with the names and numbers of visitors. Wyck is located at 6026 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia. If more details about Wyck are desired, visit www.wyck.org.
