🎙️ Podcast Episode: The Holland Land Office — Birthplace of Western New York

In this episode, we explore the incredible legacy of the Holland Land Office Museum in Batavia, NY — the historic administrative center that shaped the future of an entire region.

📍 Once the headquarters of the powerful Holland Land Company, this modest stone building was where Joseph Ellicott meticulously surveyed, plotted, and sold millions of acres — transforming a vast wilderness into thriving cities like Buffalo, Rochester, and Lockport.

💡 Here, European capital met American ambition. The very map of Western New York was drawn room by room, deed by deed.

🎧 In this podcast, you’ll learn:

How the Holland Land Company reshaped the frontier

The role of Joseph Ellicott and early land surveyors

Why Batavia was once a hub of national influence

How this building became the “birthplace” of the region

What artifacts and records are preserved in the museum today

This isn’t just a building — it’s a monument to a moment in American history when ink, ambition, and land forever changed the nation.
