Do you smell it? Can you hear that? It’s the aroma of scrapple and the sound of apples crunching. Yup, it’s time for the apple scrapple festival in Bridgeville. To get ready for this event we had some wonderful ladies come in to see what we had on the town of Bridgeville.
They were surprised that we have over 300 photographs and the town’s minutes from 1909 to 1990. You should have seen the look on their faces when they read the enrolled bill from 1822 that was “An act to prevent swine from running at large in the Village of Bridgeville”. They had to ask “Do you have any records on scrapple?” Why yes we do! We have a livestock slaughter record book from 1932 to 1938 from the New Castle County workhouse that shows amount of products produced (ham, shoulders, loins, sausage, lard, and SCRAPPLE). We also showed them a scrapbook from the Delaware State Apple Commission from 1951 to 1973.
