375 TH ANNIVERSARY

Friday, April 21, 2006, Delaware's General Assembly convened
in Lewes at 10:30 am in the sanctuary of St. Peters Episcopal
Church for a ceremonial session in acknowledgment of the 375th
anniversary of Lewes. The last time this happened was in 1781, 225
years ago. George Washington's troops were still fighting the American
Revolutionary War.

It was attended by members of the General Assembly, introduced by the Sergeant of Arms at the door, the Judicary, cabinet members, city and
county officials. Lt. Governor Carney and Senator Thurman Adams spoke.
The Minister Plenipotentiary of the Netherlands was present.
