Brooklyn, New York · USA
Dutch colonial farmhouse from the 1780s, preserved in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Located in Brooklyn, USA, it has long been a cherished destination for those with an interest in colonial history.
The historic house rewards careful exploration. Its preserved interior, dating from the colonial era, sets it apart from more conventional museums. The influence of Dutch colonial is evident throughout.
Visiting Lefferts Historic House is a genuinely rewarding experience. The park setting adds considerably to the atmosphere — there is something particularly affecting about encountering colonial history in a real place rather than a purpose-built gallery.

We spent about two hours here and wished we'd had more time. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the preserved interior was impeccable. One of the highlights of our trip.
Visited with my partner and we both agreed: truly evocative. The preserved interior really sets this place apart. A genuinely special experience.
We stumbled upon this place almost by accident and are so glad we did. It's hard to believe you're in the middle of Brooklyn once you step inside. One of the highlights of our trip.
