Welcome to Wyck, a National Historic Landmark in the heart of the historic Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Wyck served as the ancestral home to one Germantown family, the Wistar-Haines, from 1690 to 1973. Here, traditional Quaker culture blended with a passion for innovation. The people who lived and worked at Wyck expressed these values through their commitment to education, horticulture, natural history, and preservation. Wyck connects this family and its rich history to our community today through educational, often experiential programs that focus on local history, horticulture, urban agriculture, and heritage conservation, using the past as inspiration for the future.
