Growing Our Future

From the Roots of Our Past

The Delaware Company

The Delaware Company is named for the group of hardy Connecticut farmers who in 1755 overcame inestimable hardships to establish Cushetunk, the first permanent European settlement in the Upper Delaware River Valley. The Delaware Company’s mission is to promote and support the history and historic landmarks of the Upper Delaware River Valley and beyond through education, outreach and fundraising. The Delaware Company is a New York Not-for-profit corporation that has received recognition as a tax-exempt organization as defined under section 501(c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Fort Delaware

Fort Delaware is an authentic depiction of the life of the Delaware Company Pioneers who settled in the Upper Delaware Valley in 1754. At Fort Delaware, the daily life of the wilderness settler is explored through exhibits, crafts, demonstrations and tours. The Fort is a reconstruction of the original frontier settlement of the Cushetunk settlement on the Delaware River, with its stockades and stout log homes, which offered the only protection from hostile Native Americans, and later English troops.

The Kate Project

The Delaware and Hudson Canal (D&H) has a deep history in Sullivan County dating back to its inception in 1828. The economic impact of the D&H was unparalleled – in the first 20 years of the canal’s operation, the population of Sullivan County doubled to more than 25,000 by allowing the transfer of goods in and out of the country inexpensively. The rich history of the D&H has largely been forgotten, so The Delaware Company created the Kate Project to help revive that history. The Kate Project will include creating a trail along the Delaware River with a “hoggee” statue to commemorate the lesser-known stories of the D&H.
