owhere did Dutch last longer than the Hudson River Valley, where it was used in towns such as Kingston and even more so in rural areas as late well into the 19th century. In what is today the city, it was on the large Dutch family farms of Brooklyn, among families such as the Leffertses (as in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens) and Wyckoffs (as in Wyckoff Avenue), that Dutch persisted longest. Old Stone House in Park Slope is a 1933 reconstruction of the Vechte–Cortelyou House, a Brooklyn Dutch farmhouse of the Revolutionary era. Many Dutch speakers today are more recent arrivals either from the Netherlands, living in areas of Manhattan and Brooklyn not far from their forebears, or else from former Dutch colonies like Surinam and living in areas like South Ozone Park in Queens.
