Boosting Hudson Valley Dutch Heritage Tourism

January 20, 2020 by Editorial Staff 1 Comment

The falls near Kinderhook courtesy Tony Cenicola The New York TimesThe Museum Association of New York has announced Creating a Dutch Colonial Heritage Hudson Valley Tourism Experience with Russell Shorto, a program set for Tuesday, March 31 at 1 pm.

Russell Shorto’s June 2019 NY Times article “In the Hudson Valley: A Drive Back in Time” renewed public tourism interest in Dutch colonial history. New York’s Dutch roots give the state’s history a unique grounding, and they offer historic sites an opportunity with great potential for tourism and economic development.

Shorto will be joined by tourism industry partners who will brainstorm ideas on how historic sites in New York’s Hudson Valley can create new tourism experiences centered around Dutch Colonial history.

This program is free but space is limited and registration is required. This event will be held at the Albany Institute of History & Art, located at 125 Washington Ave, Albany.

    Love Dutch History in and around the Capital Region and Hudson Valley.

    Not sure this is ok, but I wanted to let you know that I work in travel and tourism and have contracted a Windmills, Tulips & Belgian Delights River Cruise in the Netherlands for April 21, 2021, in case anyone might be interested. Might be a good fit for some of your Dutch heritage audience. If interested in learning more about the river cruise. Please feel free to contact me.
