18th century Tavern Sign for the
Van Der Hayden’s Inn, Watervliet,
(Hamlet of Troy) New York. circa
1796. An 18th century tavern sign
showing Washington on
horseback. Original Pine Boards
and Molded Surround, original Iron
Hardware. The image of
Washington on horseback
standing is in it’s first painted
surface as evidenced by
preferential weathering under
raking light. The reverse side
shows Washington on horseback
jumping and is in second paint.
The name of Van Der Hayden is
ineffably associated with the
history of Troy. The
Vanderheyden family, as has
been related, owned nearly all the
land upon which the. foundations
of the modern Troy were built and
for many years the prosperous
settlement was known as
"Vanderheyden."
