context_section_description: Located in Lewes, Delaware, which was originally settled by an ill-fated Dutch colony called Zwaanendael, the Ryves Holt House has been dated to 1665 and is believed to be the oldest house in the state of Delaware. It has served as an inn and was for a time the boyhood home of Commodore Jacob Jones, who went on to earn considerable fame for his achievements in the War of 1812.
