The history includes: Native Americans, town government and services, civic and community organizations, churches, the Amish, The Tavern, leisure time and sports activities, and Westminster College. It also includes a family section with over 100 photographs of historic homes, people and more.
"There are some facts that you might not know about New Wilmington," said Sternbergh. "How did the town get its name? There is some evidence related to the early settlement of our town that it was named after Wilmington, Delaware. New Wilmington is the only town in the United States with this name."
"Most of the earliest settlers came here to claim their Donation Land awarded them by the colonial government for services rendered during the Revolutionary War," continued Sternbergh. "We are certain that those who purchase this first complete history of New Wilmington will find it a good 'reading companion' and bring forth a treasure trove of lasting memories."

"This is Fritz Lang's eerie psychological thriller about a murderer in Berlin," said Dr. Deborah Mitchell, associate professor of English and public relations. "Peter Lorre plays the psychotic killer, and, though the film was made over 70 years ago, it seems relevant for today's audiences. The story is fascinating, but the cinematography alone makes it worth seeing."
The event, which is part of a three-film series, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Mitchell, at (724) 946-7030 or e-mail dmitchel@westminster.edu.
