The Netherland Monument is a sculpture located at Battery Place and State Street, The Battery in Lower Manhattan, NY. It’s open every day of the week from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm. It’s the only gold-leafed inscriptions that I’ve seen in the park. It’s a gift from the Netherlands to New York City and written in English and Dutch. I find this to be a tremendous expression of friendship from the Dutch.
They bought the Island for so little money. Natives should have deserved a greater monument.
Easily accessible historical monument in Battery Park commemorating the Dutch settlement of the area.
A must-see for history buffs, who would appreciate the monument as a reminder of the humble beginnings of New York City after the Dutch bought the land from the Native American settlers living there at the time.
