Highlights
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!

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
