Friends of Old Swedes
Friends of Old Swedes make a one-time donation toward the long-term preservation of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church. HGDPC was recently awarded a Keystone Grant to address deferred maintenance to the church and other historic buildings on our property. Every single dollar that you give toward this fund will be matched by this grant.
Contribute to the long-term preservation of this historic property by making a one-time donation between $25 and $500.

Lisa is a descendant of Sven Svenson, who donated the Nya Sverige blockhouse that became Gloria Dei. We loved the Swedish & English service we watched Rev. Kim-Eric Williams present at Gloria Dei during a Swedish Colonial Society/American Swedish Historical Museum symposium where I spoke about New Sweden's legal system. Lisa is also a descendant of 17th century Pilgrim and Delaware River trader Isaac Allerton, one of the merchants who traded with the Lenapes and supplied the Dutch, Swedish, and English settlers along the Delaware. Today Lisa serves as Counselor of the National General Society of Mayflower Descendants. We love Gloria Dei.
