History Matters digs into the Delaware Historical Society’s archives each month to explore connections between key people, places, and events in history and present-day news.
It’s said that in many places history is all around us. Take a city like Wilmington, for instance. The city today is nothing like it was 50, 60 or 100 years ago. But stroll up a street like Market St. downtown and hints of what went before remain, if you look closely enough. In this month’s History Matters, that’s exactly what we did with Barbara Jobe, education volunteer at the Delaware Historical Society, who leads Between The Rivers walking tour of Market Street and its history.
