Support Wyck Projects

The Young Friends of Wyck events support preservation and community outreach efforts. Help us on projects such as adding welcoming signage to the Germantown fence or conserving important artifacts such as the Germantown Brewery sign that hung on the avenue at the turn of the 19th century.
