Join local historical interpreters Bob Booker and Tom Stack as they reveal Delaware and Wilmington’s pivotal role in the Civil War. Discover how a small border state navigated loyalty and conflict—and how the roles played by the du Pont Family and DuPont Company helped fuel the Union’s path to victory. 

The program will take place in the Library Copeland Room. Set your GPS to “298 Buck Rd, Wilmington, DE, 19807.” Once at Hagley, follow signs for the “Hagley Library.”
