Discover President Joe Biden’s Delaware

In honor of America’s 46th President, World Footprints will share a cultural slice of President Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware. Delaware is known as the “First State” because it was the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Its place in American history and colonialism is uniquely blended with the state’s European influences. Join us as we enjoy a glimpse into Delaware’s history starting with American artist N.C. Wyeth and the Wyeth generations that followed him. Next, we will examine the legacy of the DuPont family—a name that is synonymous with Delaware. As we stroll the grounds of Longwood Gardens, Winterthur Mansion and Nemours Estate --three attractions that were built by the DuPont family--the distinct European influence of the DuPont’s French heritage will be revealed. The places that are showcased in this episode are reflective of Delaware’s motto “Liberty and Independence”. They are just a sample of the state that has shaped President Joe Biden’s and what makes his home state of Delaware intriguing.
