Overview

We'll explain not only the characters and the history but how the Dutch attitudes influenced the founding of America.

You'll learn who some of the people who were the matriarchs and patriarchs of Nieuw Amsterdam Society were, where they worshipped, what they did for a living and who is the famous 1940's movie star that was descendant from them!

You'll see the ruins of The Lovelace Tavern, a place often used as a meeting spot for the leaders of the town. You'll learn how Nieuw Amsterdam was the trading center for products that were shipped to Europe and how the Tobacco craze led to the ultimate downfall of the Dutch.

We'll learn about the Roosevelt family and how their influence extended back to the days of the Dutch!
