Welcome to our web site!
Founded in 1924, the Dutch Settlers Society of Albany strives
to perpetuate the memory of the individuals who settled in
the greater Albany area during the Dutch colonial period of
1624 - 1664. The Society is charged with collecting and
preserving information pertaining to the early history of
Albany (Fort Orange, later Beverwijck), including genealogical
records of the settlers and their descendants.
WHAT WE DO
Many people associate us with the
Albany Tulip Festival or the ceremonial
"Scrubbing of State Street" and
participation in these events is one way
that we work to share Albany's rich
Dutch heritage.
