Merchant's House Museum
Imagine a hundred years kept in a townhouse time capsule. That’s what it’s like at the Merchant’s House Museum. It’s much more than Manhattan’s first landmark. This one’s personal. Thanks to the Tredwell family, we can explore this historic home as it was in the 1800s.
It’s packed with clothes, personal items, furniture, and everyday life. The bread box still has a lock and key to keep servants out. Their bells hang near the ceiling. But most of the museum contents belonged to Gertrude Tredwell – the lady of the house. These objects are what make Merchant’s House Museum so special today.
