| 19th & 20th Century Immigrants | The potato famine of 1846-1851 brought large numbers of Irish immigrants to town. Many purchased homes in the Town Hill neighborhood and St. Peter Church became a focal point for the community. Germans immigrants were the first major group to speak a foreign language in town. The majority worked as hatters. Immanuel Lutheran Church was founded in 1881 and in 1882 the church founded Danbury’s first parochial school. The first Italians arrived in the 1880s and were employed as work crews for... | 41.391583, -73.453878 | On Deer Hill Avenue, Danbury, (On the right | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=71353 |

| A Bustling Household | Lindenwald seems quiet today, but when Martin Van Buren lived here there was a stream of family, friends and political colleagues constantly coming and going. There was also an ever-changing mix of agricultural and domestic employees. Some workers were native born, many were immigrants, most were white, some were black. Years of use by the domestic help left indelible wear patterns on the tower stairs just as surely as the different members of the household left impressions on one another. | 42.370090, -73.703939 | On Old Post Road, Kinderhook, (On the right when traveling south) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=37828 |
| A Clash Of Cultures | The skirmish at Bloody Marsh was more than a battle. It was a clash of cultures - each vying for control of what is now the southeastern United States.

British defenders included English and Scottish immigrants and friendly Southeastern Indians. The British coalition fought effectively, and defeated the invading Spanish army of St. Simon Island. | 31.156640, -81.379530 | On Demere Road, St. Simons Island, | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=63869 |

Stroll the decks and you might have heard French, Danish, Russian, German, and accents from Ireland, England, and the Caribbean. Nearly half of the boat's sailors were immigrants. This group of men came from many walks of life. They were black and white. They were farmers, teachers and butchers. Most had no sailing experience. They learned their duties on the job.

| A Home for Immigrants | After the 1857 Fire, many generations of immigrants made this modest structure their family home. The new tenants applied their special touches, redecorating or expanding it to suit their needs. At times, they saved money by using salvaged materials from other Columbia buildings in their remodeling. The Biddle, Bacom, Morgan, Hale, Vassallo, Sarton and Martinez families’ stories and personal experiences in this home helped to define the history of the town. The stories and dreams of these... | 38.034428, -120.400140 | On Fulton Street, Columbia, (On the left when traveling east) | https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=64896 |
