About Merchant's House Museum

Welcome to Merchant's House Museum, a National Historic Landmark nestled at 29 East Fourth Street in the heart of New York City. Operated by Old Merchant's House, Inc., this preserved 19th‑century residence blends a Greek Revival interior with a Federal-style exterior, offering a unique setting for intimate events, guided tours, and evocative public programs. Whether you’re planning a private wedding, a refined parlor gathering, or a memorable garden reception, we’ve got you covered with flexible spaces and attentive service.

Capacity is tailored to the space: up to 25 guests for private weddings or similar events, and group tours accommodate up to 30 guests per session. There is no fixed seating chart; our team sets up folding chairs to suit your event in the Greek Revival Double Parlor or the charming rear Garden. For an unforgettable NYC experience, consider Merchant's House Museum as a distinctive venue with a historic backdrop that invites conversation and connection.

Getting here is straightforward, with nearby transit options and parking choices. The venue does not offer on-site parking, but street parking and nearby private lots are available (for example, Icon Parking on Lafayette Street and Edison ParkFast on Lafayette Street).
