New Amsterdam Trail: A Walking Tour of 17th Century Dutch New York

Download available

The New Amsterdam Trail audio walking tour with a map can be DOWNLOADED from the Henry Hudson 400 Foundation to your computer, MP3 player or other handheld device. The New Amsterdam Trail commemorates Henry Hudson's voyage for the Dutch to New York 400 years ago and the settlement of New Amsterdam, which became Manhattan. New York's unique character was forever shaped by the legacy of the multiethnic, entrepreneurial and tolerant culture of 17th century Amsterdam.

The trail covers sites from as far south as the Battery to the northern boundary at Wall Street. The audio tour takes you on a journey through 17th century New Amsterdam and introduces you to its diverse and fascinating first residents. An on-line virtual tour, detailed brochure and Park Ranger-led walking tours of the trail will be available at the end of June 2009.

The New Amsterdam Trail is a project of the Henry Hudson 400 Foundation.
