Event Details
We apologize for the inconvenience, but this event has been canceled and will be rescheduled soon.
We will delve into the conditions that ultimately led them to seek separation and form an independent state. We will look at some of the challenges faced by the nascent state as it recovered from the economic and social tolls of the War of Independence. And finally, how “Separation Day” came to be celebrated in the City of New Castle as a commemoration of the founding of the State of Delaware.

Among these records are census materials, vital statistics including birth, death, and marriage records; tax assessments, probate/estate records, land deeds, and military records.
The Delaware Public Archives also preserves a large amount of genealogically related materials that were of private origin. These records include family histories, bible records, church records, manuscript genealogies, and newspapers.
