SUMMARY:The Forty Years Manhattan was Dutch Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in 1624\, the Dutch West India Company transformed an edge of Manhattan wilderness into the colonial trading post of New Amsterdam. They controlled Manhattan for only 40 years\, until 1664\, when the British took over. And yet the Dutch influence set the character of New York for the next 400 years\, particularly in its money orientation\, and tolerance for ethnic and religious diversity. By 1644 the roughly 500 inhabitants of New Amsterdam included a wide variety of Europeans\, Blacks both enslaved and free\, and native Lenapes. Over 18 languages were heard on the streets. There were Dutch Reform adherents\, Catholics\, Quakers\, and Anglicans. The first Jewish settlers in North America came to these streets in 1654.

SUMMARY:Jewish Colonial Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:The first Jewish immigrants to Manhattan arrived in 1654\, during Dutch colonial times. The small group of 23 men\, women\, & children were allowed to stay\, but with considerable restrictions. Their immediate concern was how to earn a living when many occupations were closed to them. During the Dutch and British periods\, groups of Jews arrived from a variety of countries. The process of their making Manhattan a home involved creating a place to pray\, providing kosher food\, keeping their children within the faith\, and balancing the interests of Sephardic and Ashkenazi residents.

DESCRIPTION:This open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection.
