Alice Austen House

Step into the Alice Austen House Museum & Garden, a living portrait of early American photography. This Victorian-era home was once the creative sanctuary of Alice Austen—the nation’s first professional female photographer. Her lens captured the soul of turn-of-the-century New York, and today, every photograph, antique furniture, and garden path still echoes her bold spirit, independence, and artistic vision. Wander the blooming grounds and feel history breathe beneath your feet.
