Time Out says

New York City’s only preserved 19th-century family home is an elegant, late Federal-Greek Revival house stocked with the same furnishings and decorations that filled its rooms when it was inhabited by hardware tycoon Seabury Treadwell and his descendants from 1835 to 1933. There are self-guided tours from 1pm until 5pm, on all open days, where you are given a tour booklet. The guided tours are at 12pm and are a little more expensive. Lastly there is the Neighborhood Walking Tour which occurs on the second and fourth Sunday of every month.

What’s on

A Christmas Carol at the Merchant's House: Charles Dickens in New York, 1867

John Kevin Jones goes to the Dickens in this one-hour account of the novelist's classic holiday ghost story, adapted with director Rhonda Dodd. The Merchant's House Museum, formerly the home of a wealthy 19th-century family, provides an atmospheric candlelit setting for Jones's 12th annual engagement. Select performances include a preshow reception at which the audience sips mulled wine and Jones recites Clement Moore's “A Visit from St. Nicholas.”
