About Us
The Delaware Historical Society was founded in 1864 as a literary society to research, document, and share the history of the First State.
Today, the Historical Society continues as the statewide, non-profit organization that explores, preserves, shares and promotes Delaware history, heritage, and culture to strengthen our community through exhibitions, educational programs, publications, research resources, and outreach activities.
The Delaware Historical Society is the steward of the First State's history, and its mission is to share the lessons found in its history with all who would learn from it.
