The Green - September 13, 2019

Listen to this edition of The Green or individual segments below:

The First State National Historical Park - created in 2013 – is hardly a finished product.

That’s in part because it’s a unique National Park - a collection of seven sites throughout the state.  And how best to present and interpret the story they tell is part of the ongoing work to develop the park.

But recently, there was a significant step forward. The National Park Service approved plans to redevelop the historic Sheriff's House in Old New Castle as the park’s central visitor center.

Delaware’s Public Media’s Sarah Mueller recently spoke with Lorin Felter, the First State National Historical Park’s Interpretation and Education Coordinator, about the Sheriff’s House project and where things stand with Delaware’s first and only national park.

Millsboro played host to the 42nd annual Nanticoke Indian PowWow last weekend.

The Nanticoke Indian Tribe is one of Delaware’s two state-recognized Native American tribes.

It's annual powwow draws members of other tribes around the region, and raises money for the tribe’s nonprofit Nanticoke Indian Association and its museum. It also serves as a reunion for members of the Nanticoke community.

In this week's Enlighten Me, Delaware Public Media’s Sophia Schmidt takes us to this year's event.
