Gallery of Artifacts
Arent van Curler & the Flatts
In 1986 the 17th century Dutch artifacts excavated at the Flatts and at Fort Orange were placed in a permanent interpretive exhibit at Crailo State Historic Site in Rensselaer, New York. Most of the artifacts featured in this gallery are from the Crailo collection. Special thanks to Paul Huey, retired archaeologist with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and to Crailo State Historic Site for providing these images.
