Celebrating The Centuries: Old Swedes Church 1699-2019
Old Swedes celebrated 320 years of preservation and progress on June 8th. We had a great time hearing inspiring speeches, having a wonderful meal, and honoring the commendable generosity and hard work of everyone who supports our mission – including our honoree Sen. Tom Carper, whose dedicated efforts led to the creation of the First State National Historical Park. Thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable evening!
Although our celebration was on June 8th, our 320th lasts all year. Consider donating towards our mission:
