Delaware Postcard

National Historic Park Postcard

The Old Swedes Church, built in 1698 of Swedish Bricks used as ballast by ships bringing colonists to the Mid-Atlantic, is one of the oldest churches in the US. Now called Holy Trinity Church, it stands in the First State National Historic Park. Delaware was the First State to ratify the Constitution and the First State NHP was designated in this millennium.

The park covers the early colonial history of Delaware telling the unique story of the early settlement of the Delaware Valley by the Dutch, Swedes, Finns, and English and their relationship with Native Americans. It also seeks to preserve the cultural landscape of the Brandywine River Valley.

This historical Mid-Atlantic card showing a colonial landmark, makes a nice find for Delaware residents sending postcards to friends.

If Zazzle should send me a penny or two when someone buys something I have carefully chosen to display on this blog, the price stays the same. The card costs nothing extra. For the reader, my quest to find and post some nice cards you might want adds nothing to the cost.
