Outside the Wall: From Brooklyn to the Bronx and Beyond! 

As we continue to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of New York City (as New Amsterdam), join us as we talk about the important parts of New Netherland that often get short shrift: the outer boroughs. From the first settlers in Breucklen to the large landholdings of the squire ("johnkeer") Adriaen Van Der Donck, which today we still call Yonkers, we'll talk about Quakers in Queens, sailors on Staten Island (including a Dutchman named Vanderbilt), and families like the Broncks, the Hunts, and Morrises whose names live on in our streets and neighborhoods.

** a recording of the talk will be avaialble approximately 24 hours after the presentation for all registrants ** 

Each ticket covers one (1) registered device. You do not need to watch the lecture as it is happening if that's inconvenient for you -- approxmately 24 hours after the talk, a link will be emailed to all registered participants so that you can watch the talk at your leisure on Vimeo. Your registration will appear on your credit card statement as “Michelle Nevius.”
