What three historic places in Delaware belong on everyone's bucket list?
Because it's the first U.S. state, it's not surprising that Delaware is home to many historic places. Listed below are three historic places in Delaware that we believe belong on everyone's bucket list.
1. Old Swedes Historic Site in Wilmington
Holy Trinity Church, which is best known as Old Swedes, is the nation's oldest church building that's used for worship today. It was established in 1698 and its cemetery is the final resting place for many notable Delawareans. It was originally built for Swedish settlers around Fort Christina.
2. Fort Christina in Wilmington
Built in 1638, Fort Christina was North America's first Swedish settlement. There is a beautiful monument at the site now.
3. Town of Odessa
The Town of Odessa was founded in 1731. Its original name was Cantwell's Bridge, and it was once a busy shipping town for goods such as corn, wheat, produce, and tobacco. Today, the town of Odessa is home to about 350 people and is one of Delaware's most charming small towns.
What's one of the most popular historical monuments in Delaware?
There are several historical monuments located throughout the state of Delaware. One of the most popular monuments is Cooch's Bridge. The only Revolutionary War battle fought in Delaware was the Battle of Cooch's Bridge. This was also the first time the flag was flown in battle. Unfortunately, the British won. Sadly, the original bridge didn't survive the war. However, today there's a monument at the site of the bridge that you can visit.
