Friends of Historic Kingston, in cooperation with Dutch Heritage World Tours, have released the audio tour “How Dutch Is New York? – The Kingston Stockade Tour”.
You can use a smart phone or tablet to walk the National Historic District of the Kingston Stockade. Download the free audio tour using the free app called izi.TRAVEL. When you walk into a GPS zone near a site, images and text will appear. You have your choice of Dutch or English language.
The walk includes uptown Kingston, the former village of Wiltwyck as the Stockade was called in the 17th century, and discover the history and culture that Kingston shares with the Netherlands.
This audio tour is part of an audio tour project focused on Dutch-American heritage in the State of New York. Other tours with Dutch-American heritage in the izi.TRAVEL app so far are:
“How Dutch Is New York? – The New Amsterdam Tour”
“How Dutch Is New York? – The Stuyvesant Tour”
“How Dutch Is New York? – The Historic Richmond Town Tour”
“How Dutch Is New York? – The New Paltz Huguenot Street Tour”.

This project is supported as part of the Dutch Culture USA program by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York. Grants were also received from the Society of Daughters of Holland Dames in New York and the DutchCulture matching fund in the Netherlands.
