The Wilmington History Society is a place to learn from others' experiences, ask challenging questions, and stress test your ideas against experts. Our meetings focus on deep-data studies combined with masterful storytelling and group discussion to design Wilmington's future identity.


Discussion Topic:

Looking at Wilmington as if it were a business

Wilmington, Delaware is a place with a strong sense of community, a rich history, and a great location, among many other advantages. So why isn't it thriving? What changes can be made today, and what are the highest priority challenges to overcome? 


By combining the collective knowledge of the WHS membership and the past 11 speakers, we will dig deep into Wilmington in search of where we can make an impact today.
