February 
20th
 at 
6:00pm

The Wilmington History Society is a place to learn from others' experiences, ask challenging questions, and stress test your ideas against experts. Our meetings focus on deep-data studies combined with masterful storytelling and group discussion to design Wilmington's future identity.


Discussion Topic:

Documentary using the oldest existing video clips in Delaware

We will host a showing of the amazing 28 minute documentary called “The Lost Motion Pictures of Brandywine Springs” presented by the Education Department for Historic Red Clay Valley Inc. 


Picture a combination of PBS or Discovery Channel shows like Antique Road Show and History Detectives, with Hollywood level film making and the flair of Jerry Seinfield-style standup comedy.   

 

The documentary highlights Raymond Harrington and Tommy Gears' search to get to the bottom of several motion pictures clips they discovered from 1903 Wilmington - the oldest existing clips that exist in Delaware. 

 

It’s only 28 minutes long and we’ll press play at exactly 6:45 so don’t be late!  

 

This will be our last event of the summer so hope you can make it out on the 19th.
