Prall Family folk! Thinking out loud here, concerning the September 15th Staten Island bus excursion. Possible itinerary: Historic Richmond Town, Billiou House, the Watering Place Monument at Tompkinisville [where the early settlers landed and ships stopped to replenish their fresh water supply; this is the spot, or near to, where Jan, Baetje and the youngsters came ashore c.1650.] Fort Wadsworth [close to Tompkinsville], the Reformed Dutch Church at Huguenot Park [maybe just a photo stop to get the Prall & Billiou street signs], maybe a look at Prall Island and the Conference House [no Prall connection, but a nice historic stop, Adams and Franklin met there with Brits to negotiate a peace in 1776 - it failed!] That's a full day! The best part is we don't have to drive!
