Our Annual Flag Retirement Ceremony is an event in which we take great pride. Since 1777, Delawareans have staunchly fought and died to protect our freedom. It is important to PHAA that we continue to honor these heroes. The 145th General Assembly of the State of Delaware has recognized our efforts by presenting PHAA with this special tribute.

From: New Castle County Council
Dated September 25th, 2007
This award from the New Castle County Council is especially significant because it recognizes our mission to interact with other organizations in order to “spread the word” about the history of the Pencader Hundred. Sharing this history is one of our goals. We hope you will visit the Pencader Heritage Museum and come to our events in order to learn more about what happened right in our neighborhood.

From: The New Castle County Executive
Dated September 5, 2008
New Castle County Executive Chris Coons presented this award to PHAA on behalf of the citizens of New Castle County in recognition of our efforts “in preserving open spaces, green ways and historically significant parcels, artifacts and buildings.” We were also pleased that in his remarks he mentioned several of our annual projects such as Family Fun Day and our Signage Program, which commemorates the early history of Pencader Hundred. Signage can be found in several parks throughout the Pencader Hundred, including Iron Hill Park and the Cooch/Dayett Mills property. Also noted in this tribute is our annual Battlefield Memorial Ceremony, in which we honor all military veterans dating back to 1777. For more information on these events, visit the photo gallery link on this website.
