Summary
The Midwood and Flatlands sections of Brooklyn were both established as farming communities in the 1600s by families from the Netherlands whose names now serve as placemarks in these neighborhoods. The walking tour begins at Flatbush Avenue and Avenue I where we will admire historic houses on the National Register. From there we will walk to the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church on Kings Highway and 40th Street. We will spend some time in the graveyard, where members of noted Dutch families rest. We will make our way back to 38th Street and Avenue I to Amersfort Park, named after Amersfoort, a city in the Netherlands. The Park consists of land deeded to the city by the Hubbard family with unbreakable stipulations. In this neighborhood, the Dutch, though long since dead, are very much, still around.
