multiethnic, multicultural “Dutch” world for many years. Slides illustrate
the Dutch-shaped landscape through village layout, settlement patterns,
cemeteries and grave stones, and architecture. New York’s Dutch origins live
on in material culture, customs, cuisine, gender relations, political systems,
and surnames.
