Itinéraire

1. 1

   DISCOVERY & SETTLEMENT

   We will meet at New Amsterdam Plein at the Costello Plan which is a bronze map reproduction of New Amsterdam right next to the South Ferry subway 1 line. Here we will walk down to the coast and look out at Noten island (Nut Island) where the Dutch first settled and recount the history of the discovery of this part of the coast by sailors and the later settlement.

   10 minutes•Entrée libre

2. 2

   National Museum of the American Indian–New York

   This is ironically the original site of Fort Amsterdam. Hear the story of how the early settlers arrived in Lower Manhattan, built fortifications and lived with the existing people. (Note: We are not entering the museum, it is just an important location as part of the journey to learn about early New Amsterdam)

Point de rendez-vous

We will gather as here as a group and head towards the water side to then commence the tour and you will be introduced to how the Dutch arrived in this place and started with a smaller outpost on Noten Ijland (Nut Island) which is Governor's Island visible from the shoreline.
