Old Swedes Church, where George and Ann were married, is located near the landing site of the first Swedish settlers in the Delaware Valley in Wilmington, Delaware.

It is the oldest church in the United States standing as originally built and still in use as a house of worship. It was erected in 1698-1699 by descendents of the Swedish colonists who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Kalmar Nyckel in 1638

Designated as a Registered National Historic Landmark on March 29, 1963, three hundred and twenty-five years after the Swedes landed in this country, it was recognized for its unique role in worship by numerous communities of local immigrants throughout it history.
