    LEWES — Located near the end of Pilottown Road in Lewes, the deVries Monument recognizes a 1631 Dutch colony whose existence contributed to the formation of Delaware as a separate state.

    “Without the deVries colony, it is likely the Delaware we know and love today would instead be part of the state of Maryland, “said Denise Clemons, chair of the Lewes Historical Society.

    According to Amy Golden Shepard, deputy director of the historical society, the low-impact design will address required accessibility and safety concerns, as well as enable larger numbers of visitors to enjoy the monument at a more attractive and welcoming site.

    Construction begins this fall.
