Events & Programming

We hope that you have been enjoying the wide variety of
My Summer House NYC programming. All season long NYC Parks and HHT have been collaborating to highlight the best events at our houses where you can kick back, cool off, and make the most of your summer!
New Yorkers often describe our 23 historic sites as “hidden in plain sight.” As summer draws to a close, the Historic House Trust challenges you to find them! This month channel your wanderlust and venture out in search of summer vibes before the fall season is upon us. Scroll down for a few recommendations of happenings at our houses that will help you make the most of the last few weeks of summer. And view a complete listing of September events by clicking here.
