American Roots Tour – Discover Rotterdam’s American Connections

Step back in time and explore Rotterdam through the fascinating story of its American connections. From the departure of the Pilgrim Fathers to the gateway of the American Dream, discover how this vibrant city shaped the history of the United States.

Walk Through the History of the American Dream

Long before the Mayflower reached American shores, the story quietly began in Rotterdam. In 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers departed from Delfshaven, carrying ideas of freedom and faith that would help shape the United States. Centuries later, the Holland America Line transformed Rotterdam into the gateway to New York, sending millions of Europeans in search of a new life. Even surprising chapters of U.S. history touch this city, such as Lee Harvey Oswald’s brief stay in Rotterdam before returning to America.
