more Stockade District


We wandered down to the Mohawk River, which was pleasant. We also encountered the 1759-built St. George's Church (which served as barracks during the American Revolution) and the famous 1887 statue of Lawrence the Indian - a local member of the Mohawk tribe. In 1661 the Dutch built a stockade here, thus founding the city and giving the district its name.

  1. It was a lovely walk. I like learning new things, on our trips and on your blogs.
