Om The Curiosity Cabinet of Wyck Historic House, Garden, and Farm

Historical objects can reveal so much about our shared past and help us recall some fascinating (and occasionally bizarre) stories. Tune in on the second Saturday of each month to learn about specific artifacts from the collections of Wyck Historic House, Garden, and Farm in Germantown, Philadelphia - home to a 200 year old cabinet of curiosities. Wyck was home to 9 generations of one family (1690 - 1973) and is still home to their accumulation of over 10,000 material culture artifacts. Whether you are a history nerd, a material culture enthusiast, or a story-teller/appreciator, this is the show for you.
