The Delaware Public Archives will examine the historical reasons behind Delaware’s separation from Pennsylvania during their upcoming First Saturday Program this month.
The event, called “Not Today, PA,” will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Leah Greer will lead the presentation, which will explore the factors that drove Delaware’s counties to break away from Pennsylvania and form their own independent government.
The program comes as the country marks and commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, providing a timely opportunity to examine Delaware’s unique historical path to independence.
