Join a museum educator for an engaging gallery tour of “A Small Fort, Which Our People Call Fort Orange,” and uncover the story of New Netherland’s first permanent Dutch settlement. Explore the fort’s evolution—from a bustling trading post in 1624 to a vanished landmark rediscovered through remarkable archaeological work in the 1970s. Examine artifacts, historical renderings, and film footage that reveal daily life at Fort Orange and its enduring impact on Albany, New York State, and the nation. This tour brings history to life, connecting 400-year-old discoveries to the vibrant story of the region today.
