This home is an extraordinary gem, recognized as a a National Historic Landmark—yet so many New Yorkers have never had the unique pleasure! 

Join us there to step into another place and time. The Merchant’s House was built in 1832 and purchased by Seabury Tredwell, a prosperous New York City hardware merchant, in 1835. The Tredwell family continued to live in the landmark late-Federal and Greek revival style row house for nearly 100 years.

We'll visit five floors of period rooms furnished with the family’s original possessions—furniture, decorative objects, household goods, books, even their clothing. The secret 19th century rear garden is also open. We can see how a wealthy family and their four Irish servants lived in mid-19th century New York.

**Included:**

-Entry to the Old Merchant House Museum, including a guided tour 

**FAQs:**

*Do I need to bring anything to the tour?* Only yourself and a desire to meet a few new friends! (An interest in history and ghosts can't hurt either, rumor has it the Old Merchant's House is inhabited by a friendly spirit ... or several.) We also recommend wearing shoes you'll be comfortable walking and standing in. 

*Why should I book through Hank?* Our goal at Hank is to connect you with like-minded people and things to do in your community. When you book an activity with us, we'll match you with other Hank members attending the event so you can meet folks with shared interests. We'd also of course love for you to invite your friends, too!

Simply head to our events page, be sure to log into your account, and click “Create event.” You can plan any event you’d like (in a public space) and post it to the Hank website for all members to see.
