Historic House Tours
The Historic House Trust is a not-for-profit organization operating in tandem with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to help preserve the 23 historic house museums in city parks. The Trust works with NYC Parks and the nonprofit boards of each house to restore, interpret, and promote the sites, which span 350 years of New York City life. From modest farmers’ cottages to grand mansions, the sites in the Trust’s collection are located in parks across the five boroughs and chronicle New York City history, culture, and architecture.
