Great Cypress Swamp

Le Great Cypress Swamp (aussi connu sous le nom de Great Pocomoke Swamp, Cypress Swamp, or Big Cypress Swamp), est un marais (swamp) d'eau douce boisé situé sur la péninsule de Delmarva, dans le sud du Delaware et le sud-est du Maryland. En 2000, c’est la plus grande forêt contiguë de la péninsule de Delmarva. Situé aux coordonnées 38° 29′ N, 75° 18′ O , c'est l'un des marécages les plus septentrionaux de cyprès chauves dans le sud-est des États-Unis (le Battle Creek Cypress Swamp dans le comté de Calvert, dans le Maryland, est légèrement plus au nord, mais beaucoup plus petit). Il couvre environ 130 km2, principalement dans le sud du comté de Sussex, dans le Delaware. C'est la source de la rivière Pocomoke, qui coule vers le sud, et de la rivière Pepper, qui coule vers le nord-est. Histoire Le marécage a déjà produit beaucoup de bois de cyprès. À cause de la surexploitation et d'un feu de tourbe catastrophique en 1930, une grande partie de sa végétation a été détruite. L'un des incendies a brûlé pendant huit mois, ce qui a conduit à rebaptiser le marécage « Burnt Swamp » par les habitants. En 1980, Joe Biden, à la demande d'écologistes, proposa de transformer le marais en parc national. Ce plan a rencontré la résistance des habitants locaux, inquiets d'être submergés par un grand nombre de visiteurs. Lorsque Tom Carper, représentant, a réexaminé l’idée de créer un parc national dans le Delaware en 2004, le Cypress Swamp n’a pas été pris en compte en raison de ces préoccupations. L'organisation à but non lucratif Delaware Wild Lands gère le marais et a entrepris des efforts pour replanter des cyprès chauves. Valeur écologique. Oiseaux Le marais abrite 73 espèces d'oiseaux nicheurs. Les espèces les plus abondantes dans le marais sont la paruline vermivore et le vacher à tête brune. Le marais contient également deux espèces rares dans la région, la paruline de Swainson et la paruline à gorge noire. eBird a répertorié au moins 94 espèces observées dans le marais, y compris certaines espèces trouvées pendant la migration qui ne s'y reproduisent pas.

Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse

Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house and national historic district located at 1501 Old Wilmington Road in Hockessin, New Castle County, in the U.S. state of Delaware. The district encompasses three contributing buildings and one contributing site. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. History The first meeting in the area was held at the home of William Cox, in Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle County in about 1730, but not regularly established until 1737. Some of the first members were Cox, John Baldwin and Henry and John Dixon. The origin of the name Hockessin is most likely not from an Indian word as previously though as the connection to local Native American language does not have merit. It was previously believed the name Hockessin was given from an Indian village formerly in the area. While the word Hockessin does look like a Native American word, the name Hockessin did not show up on any early maps until many years after the Hockessin Meeting House was built and what is now the Village of Hockessin was never settled by the Native Americans, while they did have a hunting camp nearby. There was no town name Hockessin and the area was referred to as Mill Creek Hundred. The actual name is believed to be derived from one of the first settled properties which was named Occasion and settled by William Cox in 1726 and also the location of the first Quaker meetings in the area before Hockessin Meeting House was built a few years later. The earliest known use of the word Occasion was in 1734 in a property deed for this property. And the road to the Hockessin Meeting House, currently Old Wilmington Road, was written as Ockession Road on a map in 1808. While unsupported by documentation it is believed that the meetinghouse operated as the only school in the area from the late 1700s to the early 1800s. The meetinghouse was also the site of a British troop campsite on September 9, 1777 while troops under the command of Lord Cornwallis headed towards the Battle of the Brandywine. Structure The meeting house was built in 1738 and enlarged in 1745. In 1973 it was a one-story, white plastered stone building with a gable roof. Photographs taken in 2014 show the plaster has been removed from the stone. It has a gable roof with projecting cornice and a crown moulding at the roof line. The other contributing buildings are a stable and a frame storehouse and a stone house dated to 1817. The contributing site is the cemetery.

Immanuel Episcopal Church on the Green

Immanuel on the Green (Episcopal) is an historic church in New Castle, Delaware, listed as a contributing property in the New Castle Historic District. The church is situated near the center of New Castle at the northeast end of the Green, or town common, making it a prominent local landmark and tourist attraction. Operating continuously since 1689, it is the oldest Anglican parish in Delaware and the oldest continuously operating Anglican/Episcopal parish in the country. The church building was constructed between 1703 and 1708 and enlarged in 1822. The interior and roof were rebuilt following a disastrous fire in 1980. History Immanuel Church was founded in 1689 as the first Anglican parish in the present-day state of Delaware, which at the time was still part of Pennsylvania. The first rector was the Rev. George Ross, who served from 1705 to 1708 and then from 1714 to 1754. The church itself was constructed between 1703 and 1708, with the first services taking place there even before the building was completed. The church gradually fell into disrepair after the American Revolution. In 1820, Philadelphia architect William Strickland undertook a major renovation and expansion of the building which included a new transept, bell tower, steeple, roof, and interior. The interior was remodeled in the 1850s in the Victorian style, and again around 1900 in the Colonial Revival style. Immanuel Church caught fire on February 1, 1980 when embers from a nearby marsh fire landed on the roof. The roof, steeple, and interior of the building were completely destroyed, leaving only the exterior walls intact. Despite the severe damage, an outpouring of support from around the state that netted more than $2 million made it possible to rebuild the church. Restored to its 1822 appearance, the church was rededicated on December 18, 1982. Architecture The National Register of Historic Places listing for the New Castle Historic District describes Immanuel Episcopal Church as a "stuccoed stone, 5 bay, center aisle church with clipped gable roof, and stone and frame spire with clock". The current appearance of the building is mostly due to architect William Strickland, who was responsible for the transept and crenellated tower. The reconstructed roof, steeple, and interior also follow Strickland's design. Cemetery Several notable people are interred in the Immanuel Church cemetery: Gunning Bedford Sr., Governor of Delaware C. Douglass Buck, U.S. Senator John L. Gardner, Brigadier General George Read, signer of the Declaration of Independence George Read Jr., first U.S. Attorney for Delaware George B. Rodney, U.S. Representative Thomas Stockton, Governor of Delaware Nicholas Van Dyke Sr., Governor of Delaware Nicholas Van Dyke Jr., U.S. Senator Mary Borden McKean, wife of Thomas McKean, 2nd Governor of Pennsylvania References
Indian River Life-Saving Station

The Indian River Life-Saving Station was established between Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware in 1880 to rescue mariners shipwrecked along the Delaware coast, as part of the United States Life-Saving Service. It was designed in 1874 as a 1+1⁄2-story board-and-batten frame structure with decorative brackets supporting overhanging eaves in a version of the Queen Anne style. It sheltered a surfboat which could be quickly rolled out through double doors facing the beach and down a ramp to the water. The main station house remains of what was once a complex that included a barn, stable, meat house, feed house and privy. An auxiliary boathouse stood about a mile to the south. The original plans for the station survive. The facility was moved back from the water's edge due to coastal erosion. In 1915, the United States Life-Saving Service merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the United States Coast Guard. The station was converted to a Coast Guard station and occupied until the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which left it partially buried in sand. A new Coast Guard station was built nearby in 1964. The original station was restored by the Delaware Seashore Preservation Foundation, and is now operated as the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum by Delaware State Parks, as part of Delaware Seashore State Park. The Indian River Life Saving Service Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1976.
