SUMMARY:Dutch American Friendship Day
DESCRIPTION:“Dutch-American Friendship Day”\nDiscover Delaware’s Dutch roots and learn how that connection is still alive today during Dutch-American Friendship Day from 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Saturday\, April 16\, at the Zwaanendael Museum in Lewes. Dedicated by President Ronald Reagan on April 19\, 1982\, this year marks the 40th annual Dutch-American Friendship Day. \nIn 1631\, the Dutch sailing ship “The Walvis” arrived at what is now Lewes and established the town of Zwaanendael\, now known as The First Town in the First State. But Native Americans had already been living on the land for generations\, despite the Europeans’ claim to ownership. The following year\, this settlement was destroyed by the area’s original inhabitants\, which was enough to scare off the Dutch. \nAlthough the colony lasted barely a year\, the claiming of the territory fostered Dutch resettlement of the lower Delaware Valley. In 1655\, after about 24 years\, they would intensify settlement efforts. The South River\, including the Lewes area\, became a flourishing Dutch colonial area. The settlement at Lewes also included a Mennonite colony under Pieter Cornelisen Plockhoy by 1663. Other Dutch colonies were successful\, including those in northern New York state\, in the Caribbean and as far south as Brazil and Chile. \nAlthough Lewes residents are familiar with the Dutch connection\, other European influences are more prevalent in the country’s colonial history. During the fight for independence\, the Dutch were seen as the first formal supporters and played a role in supplying arms\, ammunition and other goods to the American rebels in exchange for indigo from the Carolinas and tobacco from the Chesapeake region. \nAlthough the Netherlands and Britain shared a military alliance\, officials and citizens were sympathetic to the American cause. One Dutch government official vigorously opposed the king’s request in 1775 for military support and his speech sparked resistance across the nation. \nZwaanendael Museum\n102 Kings Hwy.\n302-645-1148\nwww.History.Delaware.gov\nzmuseum@delaware.gov\n10 a.m.–4:15 p.m. \n\n\n\nPics and copy from our friends at the Lewes Chamber of Commerce
