Narrowsburg, NY – The celebration of American independence is so monumental for Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History in Narrowsburg that it couldn’t possibly be confined to just one day!
This year, Fort Delaware will offer special programming on three different days to mark the Independence Day holiday.
- As part of the Bold Gold Media Speaker Series, on Thursday, July 4, Sullivan County Historian John Conway will present a program titled “A Settlement Divided,” examining how the inexorable march toward independence in 1776 effectively destroyed the Cushetunk settlement, so that by 1785 the first permanent European settlement in the Upper Delaware was largely abandoned. The program starts at 11 a.m. and is included in the price of admission to Fort Delaware.
Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History is located on the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway at 6615 Route 97 in Narrowsburg, NY. The Fort is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in June, September and October and Thursday thru Sunday in July and August.
