“Sherwood House Museum is a three-story framed structure built into a hillside and features an exposed basement. The Museum is among the few fully furnished resident farmhouses in the New York Metropolitan region. In 1740, Thomas Sherwood erected this house on land leased from Frederick Philipse, and it was later acquired by Doctor John Ingersoll, Yonkers' first physician, in 1801. Furthermore, the house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Yonkers Historical Society has played a significant role in preserving and restoring this landmark through contributions of furniture, funds, artifacts, and countless hours of work.”
