2026-08-05 - Tomorrow, August 6, 2026, marks the 100th anniversary of Gertrude Ederle becoming the first woman to swim the English Channel. To celebrate this historic achievement, there will be the official opening of the Trudy Ederle exhibition at the Dover Museum.

Key details for the event:

• Opening Date: Tomorrow, August 6, 2026.
• Public Access: Attendees are welcome to view the exhibition starting after 12:00 PM.
