Description
The primary Swedish settlers in The us embarked from Gothenburg, Sweden, and sailed into Delaware Bay, arriving at what is now Wilmington. The fearless Swedish and Finnish settlers left their mark within the Delaware Valley and on many sites within the space, specifically its churches and famous log cabins. The images in Photographs of The us: Swedes of the Delaware Valley depict the depth of Swedish American influence at the space, from early log cabins to John Morton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, to IKEA and the American Swedish Historical Museum. The museum, positioned within the heart of the Delaware Valley, is devoted to preserving and promoting Swedish American culture, heritage, and traditions.
