Hannah Van Buren’s Journey from Dutch Heritage to American History

Hannah Van Buren’s quiet life tells a larger story of Dutch traditions, New York’s beginnings, and their enduring mark on the nation.

Though Hannah Van Buren died nearly twenty years before her husband’s presidency, her life reflected the sweeping historical forces of early America. Sharon unpacks the Dutch roots of New Amsterdam (today’s New York), how they shaped both Hannah and Martin Van Buren, and the lasting influence they left on the nation.
