Dutch Connection History

Speaker 1: The museum started this show back in 1995, and it has run annually since. It's inspired me trying to bring back a little bit of how George Eastman lived his life during the winter months, and to bring it back for people to see. Every year he would order 30 to 40,000 bulbs for some into the greenhouses, and put some into the yard every year. During the winter months, he would have his gardeners bring them into the house so we could have fresh growing flowers all year round, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, all those early spring forceable plants that he could bring in.
