Mission Statement

Van Cortlandt House Museum strives to be a vital member of the Bronx cultural community and the larger region by preserving, researching and interpreting the Van Cortlandt House, its grounds, and historical collection for a wide audience for the purpose of growing meaningful connections between the past and the present. The Museum’s research and interpretation focuses on the historical inhabitants of the house from 1749-1823, the social history of those who lived and worked on the property, and the study of decorative arts.

Van Cortlandt House Museum is owned by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, operated by the National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of New York (NSCDNY), and is a member of the Historic House Trust of New York City.
