PART I LINE 1: THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS THE PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE WYCK HOUSE AND ITS CONTENTS, LOCATED IN THE GERMANTOWN SECTION OF PHILADELPHIA, PA. THE WYCK ASSOCIATION TELLS THE STORY OF WYCK, THE QUIETLY ELEGANT HOME, HISTORIC GARDENS, FARM BUILDINGS, AND COLLECTION OF OBJECTS AND PAPERS THAT REFLECT THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF ONE PHILADELPHIA FAMILY OVER THREE HUNDERED YEARS. PROGRAMS AT WYCK DRAW ON THIS FAMILY'S PASSION FOR EDUCATION, ITS QUAKER SIMPLICITY, AND ITS LOVE OF NATURAL HISTORY AND HORTICULTURE. THROUGH THE PRESERVATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS RARE RESOURCE, THE WYCK ASSOCIATION WORKS TO ENRICH AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY LIFE.
