A resounding success! The European launch of the New Amsterdam History Center’s Mapping Early New York interactive 3D model of the 1660 Castello Plan of New Amsterdam at the historic Pilgrim Fathers Church in Delfshaven on October 8 drew a full house and an enthusiastic audience. This milestone celebrated more than fifteen years of research and digital reconstruction, bringing 17th-century New Amsterdam to life and deepening the story of the Dutch-American connections that helped shape our shared history. A wonderful day of collaboration, discovery, and transatlantic connections!

So many thanks to Sietze Vermeulen from the Dutch Consulate, Daniel Kanigan Cultural Attache of the US Embassy, Vanessa Bezemer Sellers and Esme Berg of NAHC, and Abbie Suckle.
