New Wilmington History Book Prepaid Orders Now Available

Prepaid orders for The History of New Wilmington book can be picked up Tuesday-Thursday, Sept. 21-23, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the New Wilmington Borough Building.
 
 "There are some facts that you might not know about New Wilmington," said Al Sternbergh, a member of the book committee.  "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."

Books may be purchased at the Westminster College Book Store located in the McKelvey Campus Center beginning Monday, Sept. 27.
