Merchant's House Museum is a New York City based museum and historic site dedicated to preserving a single family home from the 19th century, with both exterior and interior kept intact. The building, a red-brick and white-marble row house on East Fourth Street built in 1832 near Washington Square, housed a prosperous merchant family for nearly a century. Today the residence remains furnished with the family's original belongings, offering a rare glimpse into domestic life in New York City between 1835 and 1865. Operating within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, it is a small to mid-sized cultural institution focused on authentic historic interiors and preservation. Based in New York City, the museum serves visitors and researchers interested in 19th-century urban life. In October 2018, it published a list of October programs highlighting events described as ghost-themed experiences.
