Mooie aandacht voor een zeer interessant stukje geschiedenis! #VanRensselaer is nooit in Amerika geweest, maar zijn ideeën vormen de basis van de huidige stad Albany. Rensselaerswijck had ook een interessante dynamiek met de W.I.C/Nieuw-Amsterdam #History- nos.nl/l/2463510

The latest episode of A New York Minute In History delves into the history of the Dutch patroon system in NYS & tells the story of the anti-rent movement of the 19th Century, during which tenant farmers banded together to oppose the outdated system. bit.ly/3nbO17j

Yesterday a small delegation visited Fort2 #Wommelgem near #Antwerp, where a militaria event took place. In #WW2 this fort Luftwaffe Werkstatt Antwerp was a Reparaturbetrieb. Allies were billeted there in 1944. Now there are various exhibitions, including about V bomb terror.
