Touring & Gaming New Amsterdam
In these two tours, walk down Manhattan's Stone Street, originally named Brouwer Street for all the New Amsterdam brewers who lined it. It was renamed Stone when it became the village's first paved street. The first tour is a virtual recreation of the street ca. 1660. The second tour explores markers of the Dutch presence on the street of today. Then in a game from the New-York Historical Society, meet five people who lived in the historic village.
