Wyck Association Charity Profile

Wyck was home to nine generations of the same Quaker family, the Wistars and the Haines, who owned and lived on this "farm" in Germantown. Today the wonderful colonial house with its noteworthy 1824 alterations by William Strickland, and historic gardens invites visitors to view not only remarkable collections, but to experience through the lives of its owners the changing character of Philadelphia. They personify the city's leadership in business, natural history and science, education and social responsibility.
