Even though the colony of New Netherland only existed for forty years (1624-1664) and many buildings have disappeared over time, there is still a lot of Dutch history and culture to discover in New York and surrounding states. In the city of New York there are street names and the grid of New Amsterdam that are still reminiscent of the Dutch past. In New York state you can find country houses \u2013 now mostly (house) museums \u2013 church buildings and cemeteries from Dutch descendants. Many American surnames still bear witness to a Dutch or Flemish origin, as do certain words in the American language, such as boss and cookies. In the Hudson Valley, celebrations like ‘Pinkster’ and \u2018Sinterklaas\u2019 are still celebrated. Heritage that recalls the slavery past of the colony of New Netherland has long been silenced, but it has been receiving increasing attention in both the United States and the Netherlands \u2013 and rightfully so.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The first nine audio tours have been financially supported as part of the Dutch Culture USA program of the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York. We also received grants from the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames and the DutchCulture matching fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our partners in the Brooklyn Tour* and the adjustment of the New Amsterdam Tour are The Holland Society of New York, the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames, and Dutch Culture USA as part of their FUTURE 400 program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
