State History

This article originally appeared in a Delaware Company Newsletter.

In anticipation of this unprecedented era in our existence, The Delaware Company is proud to announce the launch of our new website, available for viewing now at thedelawarecompany.org

Not only will our new site tell people all about The Delaware Company and our mission, it will enable everyone to keep up-to-date on our events AND it will-- for the first time ever-- enable us to accept online financial contributions via a "Donate' button on the site.

We thank the Tianaderrah Foundation for providing the grant that made this website possible, and we are grateful to Brawn Media of Albany, NY for their expertise in developing the site.

This spring we will, of course, begin our tenure managing the operation of Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History in Narrowsburg, NY, and our Board members and staff have been hard at work all winter putting together plans for an exciting year of programming. Check the website often for updates, including a major announcement about our Grand Re-Opening and the special programs we have already lined up. We would like to thank Bold Gold Media for providing the financial and promotional assistance that has made possible a special series of presentations at the Fort this year. We are all very pleased with the presenters we will be featuring this season in the Bold Gold Media Speaker Series, and there are more to come!

We are also excited to welcome to Fort Delaware a new Director, Callison Stratton, and Assistant Director, Alexis Patterson. Both have impressive backgrounds as public historians, and we all expect great things from them.

This fort Delaware initiative is our most expensive undertaking yet, and we are asking you to please consider helping us continue our mission to support and promote the history and historic landmarks of the Upper Delaware and beyond by making a tax-deductible donation, either through the new website or the old-fashioned way, by mailing a check to the address shown below.

For a limited time only, we are offering a special gift for any contribution of $50 or more... 

Through the end of March, we will send a signed copy of my popular 2020 book, In Further Retrospect to anyone contributing $50 or more. If donating online, please make sure we have your mailing address so there is no delay in receiving your gift!

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at some of our upcoming events, and in the meantime, we hope you will visit us at our new website, thedelawarecompany.org
