We have a great time at our reunions, the next one will be September 2013 in Madison, Indiana where many of the Low Dutch migrated to from Kentucky.  It is a wonderful little river town, so full of history and color. But we are not ready to give up Harrodsburg KY where we have met several times and where we have worked hard on restoring that Old Mud Meetinghouse our Low Dutch ancestors built more than 200 years ago. We plan to hold our worship services inside in the restored building in 2013.

We are descendants of the Low Dutch who settled New Amsterdam, moved to New Jersey, migrated to near Gettysburg, and made history when they later populated the Kentucky frontier. Our Dutch Cousins goal is to research, share and preserve the genealogy and history of our common Low Dutch heritage, including but not limited to, the restoration and preservation of the Old Mud Meetinghouse near Harrodsburg, KY. We meet every two years to renew our love for each other. Our mission is to honor the memory of these ancestors, and enjoy the friendship of cousins - both newly-discovered and long-loved.
