Description   An introduction to the Museum’s history, galleries, & collections. On a day in early June, 1926, Crown Prince Gustav (VI) Adolf of Sweden laid his hand on the cornerstone of the John Morton Memorial Building in South Philadelphia to help guide it into place. The site chosen for the building was once part of a 17th-century land grant from Queen Christina of Sweden to Swedish colonist Sven Skute. The year 1926 marked the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Due to the Depression, it was not until 1938 that the newly renamed American Swedish Historical Museum officially opened as a part of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Swedish presence in the Delaware Valley. Color & b&w illustrations.
