xzmattzx's daily Delaware photo

[xzmattzx]

I liked hkskyline's daily photo thread, so I thought I would give it a try. My daily photo thread will only contain pictures of my home state. I have plenty of pictures from around the state of Delaware, so I will be able to showcase several various places.

I will include some brief information on where the picture is from, and will also sometimes include a little bit of history information.

The Hale-Byrnes House on Stanton-Christiana Road near Stanton. On September 6, 1777 (230 years ago to the day), General George Washington and his officers held a council at the house following the Battle of Cooch's Bridge a few days earlier.

Great work It will be hard to post a new photo every day, but I am sure you will manage to share many great images - you cannot get sick, or go out of state, you understand that, right?

Yeah, I might have to cheat a little a few times this year, but I should be able to keep things prettyon-schedule.

The Deer Park Tavern at the west end of Main Street in Newark. Legend has it that Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Raven" here while staying overnight on a trip to Philadelphia.
