The Museum is located on the ancestral lands of the Lenape known as Lenapehoking (Lënapehòkink). From 1638 to 1655, this area was also part of the New Sweden Colony, which consisted of settlements, trading posts, and forts along the Delaware River in modern-day Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The Museum’s founder, Dr. Amandus Johnson, inspired a group of Swedish-Americans to build the Museum as a permanent monument to Swedish contributions in the United States, and he chose Philadelphia as the location because of its connection to the New Sweden Colony. Prince Bertil of Sweden laid the cornerstone for the building during Philadelphia’s Sesquicentennial Celebration that took place in 1926 in what is now FDR Park.		<big>{{toplink\|url=http://americanswedish.org\|name=americanswedish.org}}</big>[[File:SwedishMuseum.jpg\|300px\|thumb\|right\|Various scenes at the American Swedish Historical Museum.]]<big><blockquote>''Sharing Swedish Culture in America''</blockquote></big>Founded in 1926, the '''American Swedish Historical Museum''' in South Philadelphia is '''the oldest Swedish museum in the United States'''.
