What do Rembrandt, the Pilgrims of Plymouth Plantation, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Tulips, Johannes Vermeer and the American Revolution all have in common?   Under the expert guidance of Manuscripts Society Trustee Alfred Lemmon of The Historic New Orleans Collection and cultural tour specialist Nick Fritz, a veteran of 40 years of specialized tours of the Netherlands – you will get your answer.
