The first Swedish settlers in America embarked from Gothenburg; Sweden; and sailed into Delaware Bay; arriving at what is now Wilmington. The fearless Swedish and Finnish settlers left their mark in the Delaware Valley and on many sites in the area; particularly its churches and famous log cabins. The photographs in Images of America: Swedes of the Delaware Valley depict the depth of Swedish American influence on the area; from early log cabins to John Morton; signer of the Declaration of Independence; to IKEA and the American Swedish Historical Museum. The museum; located in the heart of the Delaware Valley; is dedicated to preserving and promoting Swedish American culture; heritage; and traditions.
