Historic Holiday Open Houses

Sinterklaas departs the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum, Brooklyn.

Need a little country in your city this holiday season? There are plenty of historic sites in the Historic House Trust's collection that have been festively decorated and are hosting a series of events through January 10th. "From trolley tours in Staten Island and Queens to concerts and candlelight tours to Nutcracker-themed decorations and visits from Saint Nick," the 13 houses span the 5 boroughs. More details here, and coming up this Saturday you can catch a Candlelight Tour at the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum in the Bronx.

Great shot of the Hessian Hut. There were many of these around that part of the city during the Revolution.

Visiting the Dyckman House is a surreal experience considering you're in an authentic, rustic farmhouse in Manhattan.
