Many Dutch immigrated to America for religious freedom, economic opportunity, and farmland. From the 1600s to the 1800s, they brought rich traditions, strong work ethics and community values—shaping places like New York and the Midwest. #DutchHeritage #Immigration #History #Holland #Michigan #Tulips

Order a copy(price incl. shipping):

I made the creamy rice pudding. It's really good and deserves the attention you need to make it.
