You should check out The Lower Swedish Cabin along the Darby Creek in Upper Darby Township it was built in the 1650s by Swedish settlers, its open every Sunday from 1 to 4 from April to November
There some other Swedish tidbits around Philly. Old Swedes' Church, the oldest church in PA (built by the Swedish government in late 1600s), is a few blocks from my house in South Philly -- lovely place; American Swedish Historical Museum is down near the stadiums on Pattison Ave in FDR Park; and apparently the blue/yellow of the Philadelphia flag is a tribute to the Swedish heritage. Probably some other stuff I've forgotten about.
@@robertVirtue-mc2yw it's still there and they're really easy flat walks. I couldn't believe the Swedes set up shop here before the Dutch or British. Thanks for watching, Robert!
I remember learning about New Sweden in school but didn't realize it was the first European settlement in PA. Also, I knew Columbus wasn't the first to discover the new world but for some reason I thought he eventually landed in North America. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family.
your title should be "First European Settlement". I know you mentioned the first peoples of the Lenape and Susquehannock tribes - but I do believe there is really no reason to click-bait titles when discussing history - particularly an accurate history that you've showcased here. Let the truth be the lead, and people will still find interest in your exploration of history and appreciate it all the more
@@wayne00k that would be more accurate, but I try to keep thumbnails quick and concise. I went through 3-4 versions until I was happy with how it looked. Thanks for watching!
Columbus did discover the Americas for Europe. It is true that Vikings landed on the shores of what is now Canada, but they didn't know where they were, and they were never able to settle and colonize the area. After the Columbus expeditions, the "New World" was opened for follow on explorations, settlements, and the beginnings of international trade that formed the basis of our modern world. This was called, "the Columbia Exchange". Without European colonization of the Americas, there would be no modern world, the Indians would still be living in the Stone Age, and you and your listeners would not exist. You do a great job with your videos, leave, the revisionist politics out.

@@ectedadams definitely a lot of influence. I remember talking about the Swedish presence at White Clay Creek State Park near Delaware, too.
I never learned that in school and I loved Pa. History. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I know that area very well. How did you manage to not have any planes or plane sounds in your video?
@@franhildwine1340 lots of re-dos!!! It was a touch frustrating, but I knew it would be.
