Years ago, a relative of John Van Antwerp MacMurray mentioned to me that they were going to come to New York to visit Van Antwerp sites. It’s still on my personal list, but another cousin mentioned they might go out. It made me think about what were all the things to visit in New York. Here’s my best list…
- Jan Mabie House (Rotterdam Junction)
- Jacobus Van Antwerp House (Schenectady)
- Fresco Restaurant (Orangeburg)…supposedly old Van Antwerp tavern
- First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church (Schenectady)
- Van Antwerp Farm and Road (Niskayuna)
- Van Antwerp Middle School (Niskayuna)
- Daniel Janse Van Antwerpen powderhorn and Daniel Van Antwerp ear trumpet (NY Historical Society Museum)
- Huyck Preserve (Albany)
- Van Antwerp Creek (Schuylerville)…may be hard to find
- Coeymans Hollow Cemetery (Coeymans Hollow)
- Van Antwerp Village Apartments (Niskayuna)
- St. Paul’s Church (Albany)
- Former Hoboken House restaurant (now Light Horse Tavern) (Hoboken, NJ)
