Dyckman Farm: The Pinkster Stroll Send-Off

The Pinkster Stroll Send Off
Saturday, May 25th from 10AM-11AM
FREE

The Pinkster Stroll will be a group of Black New Yorkers dressed in historically inspired garb walking from Dyckman Farmhouse to New-York Historical Society in commemoration of both enslaved and free Black people in 17th- and 18th-century Dutch New York who celebrated Pinkster, the oldest African American holiday. Join us at Dyckman Farmhouse in sending them off on their long walk, and to discover how the Christian feast of Pentecost celebrated by the Dutch, evolved into a Black American festival used by Black New Yorkers to gather with family and friends and reconnect with their African cultures. This program is a partnership between New-York Historical Society, the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, and Not Your Momma’s History.

El Paseo Pinkster será un grupo de neoyorquinos negros vestidos con ropa de inspiración histórica que caminarán desde la Granja Dyckman hasta la Sociedad Histórica de Nueva York en conmemoración de los negros esclavizados y libres en la Nueva York holandesa de los siglos XVII y XVIII que celebraron el Pinkster, la festividad afroamericana más antigua. Únase a nosotros en la Granja Dyckman para despedirlos en su larga caminata y para descubrir cómo la fiesta cristiana de Pentecostés celebrada por

los holandeses evolucionó hasta convertirse en un festival afroamericano utilizado por los neoyorquinos negros para reunirse con familiares y amigos y reconectarse con sus culturas africanas. Este programa es una colaboración entre la Sociedad Histórica de Nueva York, el Museo de la Granja Dyckman y Not Your Momma’s History.

Dyckman Farmhouse – History in Focus: The Dutch in Upper Manhattan in the 17th Century

History in Focus: The Dutch in Upper Manhattan in the 17th Century

The most populous Dutch settlements in the 17th century were in Nieuw Amsterdam (lower Manhattan) and in Albany, and most Dutch records produced in the period were produced in one of those two cities. This lunchtime lecture focuses on the documentary record of upper Manhattan, looking at what records survive and what they tell us about diversity and intercultural interactions in this less well-studied area.

UPTOWN ARTS STROLL: Inwood History at Inwood Farm Restaurant

LOST INWOOD
Story of the Wading Place, W.230th @ Broadway

-TUESDAY JUNE 4th, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM

It’s almost summer. For some of us, that means a trip to Baskin-Robbins at the corner of 230th and Broadway. But that particular streetcorner has a story far more epic than just a double scoop of Jamoca almond fudge. For millenia it was the only place where, at low tide, you could walk to Manhattan from the mainland. People called it the WADING PLACE, and it just might be the most historic geographic spot in the neighborhood.

Indigenous people, Dutch settlers, enslaved Africans, founding fathers, Lords, ladies, soldiers, mercenaries, secret agents, and even industrialists played a role in shaping its story.

This month at LOST INWOOD we’re honored to welcome guest speaker Nick Dembowski, president of the Kingsbridge Historical Society. Nick will tell us why 230th and Broadway, the site of the Wading Place, is such an important location in the neighborhood. Mind = blown!

So please join us Tuesday June 4th 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.
