Tales of Albany: Local History Book club

Join us for a discussion of The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony That Shaped America by Russell Shorto. This engaging history explores the Dutch colony of New Netherland and the diverse society that developed in New Amsterdam, the settlement that later became New York City. Learn more about the Dutch roots of Albany, New York and how this early colony shaped the culture and history of the Hudson Valley, just in time for the Albany Tulip Festival!

Open to adults.
