Join us in-person at the library or online for a presentation by Mark Wilson from the Zwaanendael Museum. From the Revolutionary War to WWII, this program will outline the history of foods consumed by military personnel throughout Delaware’s history.

Mark Wilson is the Lead Interpreter at Zwaanendael Museum. His focuses at the museum include educational programming, researching local topics such as Lewes and maritime history, and working closely with part-time staff.

For centuries, Delaware has grown, produced, and brewed foods and drinks that have traveled across the country and around the world. But where do these goods come from and who are the people, past and present, that have made this possible? Through programs and lectures, History Revival: Food and Drink Across Delmarva will connect the public to the rich history of agriculture on the Delmarva peninsula, and the unique goods that have graced Delaware's tables for centuries. This lecture series is a collaborative effort of the Zwaanendael Museum and Lewes Public Library and has been made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
