Christiana Historic Society ~
We have a scheduled meeting date with Deldot regarding the changes that have been proposed for East Main Street and Route 273. The meeting will be held at Christiana Fire Hall on September 12th at 6.30 pm. This is a Thursday evening. We hope that we can PACK the Fire Hall to oppose any changes that would further isolate the Village of Christiana! please save the date and spread the word!
Christiana Bridge
Boom, Boom, Boom. Here come the troops marching over the Christiana Bridge. This bridge is on Olde Kings Road right at the top of the Christiana Creek. General Lafayette of France landed on this bridge with some of his American troops during The Revolutionary War and marched the troops across the bridge. The Christiana Bridge is best remembered for its military associations, but it was also a popular shipping port. They had to replace the wooden bridge in 1812. It was changed into a steel bridge. Then they built the current bridge in 1937. Many people ride with their cars across this historic bridge everyday.
