Thanks to all for Coming out for History Sunday, and this weekends events

 The Corinthian Yacht Club was not the only large club in Essington, the Philadelphia Yacht Club pictured above stood where the West End Boat Club is today. It closed in the late 1940's.

The Delaware County Historical Society and County Council would like to thank everyone who came out for the Ride for History and the events at Rose Tree Park! We hope to make next year much better when the county is 225 years old.
