Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Celebration of the Two Hundred and Thirtieth Anniversary of the Landing of William Penn in Pennsylvania: Held at the Washington House Chester, Pa, Saturday, October 26th 1912 At a special meeting of the Council of the Colonial Society of Pennsylvania, held in the building of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Thirteenth and Locust Streets, Philadelphia, on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 25, 1912, the subject of the observance of the Two Hundred and Thirtieth Anniversary of the landing of William Penn in Pennsylvania, was discussed at length, it being a custom of the Society to recognize annually that anniversary by a gathering of its members in commemoration of that momentous event in the history of this Province and Commonwealth. It chanced that the precise date, October 28, fell this year - 1912 - on Monday; and after a thorough discussion, it was decided that the function should be arranged for the afternoon of Saturday, the 26th, since that would most likely insure a large attendance of the members at the exercises. It was also determined that the meeting should be held at the old Colonial Inn, now the Washington House, in Chester, located only a short distance from the actual spot where William Penn landed, two hundred and thirty years ago. To make all arrangements for the observances of the day, a committee comprising Harold Edgar Gillingham, Henry Heston Belknap and Henry Graham Ashmead was appointed, clothed with full power to act. The twenty-sixth of October proved to be a delightful Autumn day. A large number of the Colonial Society of Pennsylvania members, as well as those of the Swedish Colonial Society, who had been invited to participate in the ceremonial observances of Penn´s Landing, gathered in the Washington House, comprising a representative body whose proceedings on that occasion will enter into and find a prominent place in the annals of Chester. The ancient hostelry was tastefully decorated with the red and white colors of the Colonial Society of Pennsylvania and with the blue and gold colors of the Swedish Colonial Society.
