Sherwood House
Sherwood House, located 340 Tuckahoe Road (at the southbound entrance to the Sprain Brook Parkway) in Yonkers, is one of the few remaining pre-Revolutionary War fully furnished tenant farmhouses in the New York Metropolitan area. It was built about 1740 by Thomas Sherwood on land leased from Frederick Philipse and was purchased in 1801 by Yonkers’ first physician, Doctor John Ingersoll. In 1962 it opened as a museum and has remained as such ever since. Historic Sherwood House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is owned and maintained by the Yonkers Historical Society. There is free parking available on site.
