Did you know parts of New Jersey were once settled by the Swedish Empire in the 17th-century? Discover the "New Sweden" colony's history at Monmouth University and at the Old Swedes Church in Swedesboro, New Jersey. Uncover how early Swedish settlers and Forest Finns forged trade partnerships with the indigenous Lenape, established homesteads across the Delaware Valley, and see one of the nation's oldest Swedish log cabins.

"Drive By History" follows the investigations of host Ken Magos as he stops at roadside history markers in New Jersey and New York to explore what happened and why it still matters. With the help of esteemed historians, celebrated authors and chefs, and nationally recognized experts, "Drive By History" connects the dots, revealing how local events form our shared American narrative.
