“Sherwood House Museum was constructed from the farmhouse against a hill to make the best use of the available farmland, along an old Native American trail. The house was built in 1740 by Thomas Sherwood on property leased from Frederick Philipse and was purchased in 1801 by Yonkers’ first physician, Doctor John Ingersoll. The house is a 3-story frame structure on an exposed basement built into a hillside. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Yonkers Historical Society has preserved and restored this landmark through contributions of furniture, artifacts, funds, and countless hours of work.”
