Historic Houses on the Dutch Heritage Trail

Matthew Coody, Director of External Affairs at the Historic House Trust of NYC, guides attendees along a virtual heritage trail that explores the lasting impact of the Dutch colonists on the city’s architecture. Explore a chamber of Dutch secrets at Van Cortlandt House Museum in The Bronx, where a room curated in the early 20th century tells the story of a 17th-century family in the New Netherland colony. The reconstructed Old Stone House passes as a Dutch farmhouse from 1699, but in reality it’s much younger. Dig into this site’s interesting saga, and its connection to a noted “power broker” and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Delve into the fascinating tale of the basement floor in Staten Island’s Conference House. And see inside the oldest surviving building in New York State, Brooklyn’s Wyckoff Farmhouse.
