In conjunction with the “Walking into Greatness: Bryan A. Stevenson” exhibition, the Milton Historical Society welcomes guest lecturer David Garlock on Thursday, October 10, 2019 at 6:30 pm. Garlock will share his story which begins with childhood abuse and a prison sentence for taking the life of his abuser. With the help and mentorship of Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative, Garlock earned a degree in Theology, attended Stevenson’s alma mater Eastern University, and married. Today, in his work with former inmates who are in the process of re-entering society, Garlock employs Stevenson’s teachings of Just Mercy, which hold that no one is defined by the worst thing they have done. Join us for Garlock’s inspiring story about overcoming adversity and using his experience to help others.

The Milton Historical Society is a nonprofit cultural and educational organization dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of the history of Milton and the Broadkill Hundred. The Society collects, preserves, and interprets stories, artifacts and documents related to Milton and the Broadkill Hundred for study and education. We welcome the participation of people of all ages in sharing informative and engaging experiences that will encourage them to discover and appreciate their heritage. We're a small, but mighty historical society and museum located in Southern Delaware. We're all about promoting local history and creating a center for community engagement. The Milton Historical Society was founded in 1970 when the town recognized the importance of preserving the history of Milton and the Broadkill Hundred. The museum is located in a former Methodist Church that was originally built in 1857. Lydia Black Cannon, a resident of Milton, purchased the building and donated it to the MHS to house its growing collection. The building was renovated and reopened in 2006 to serve as Milton's museum, lecture hall, art gallery, education and research center, and as the social center of our community.
