In light of the popularity of Christy Taylor's sold out Just Mercy book discussions, MHS will host two more book groups on Tuesday, September 24 and October 29 from 6-7:30 pm led by Stevenson’s cousin Alonna Berry, the founder and chairwoman of the Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence scheduled to open in Sussex County in 2021. As a trustee of MHS and part of the Stevenson exhibition team, Berry brings a unique perspective to her discussion of Just Mercy. She says, “I am honored to be a part of an important conversation happening in our country addressing the spoken and unspoken parts of our history, as both are equally meaningful and required to push us all forward. I hope this book club with continue that conversation here, in our local context of Sussex County, so together we can honor, accept and move forward.”

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.
