Friends Meetinghouse (Wilmington, Delaware)

Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house at 4th and West Streets in Wilmington, Delaware in the Quaker Hill neighborhood. The meeting has a membership of about 400 and is part of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. It was built in 1815–1817 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. History The first Quaker meeting for worship in Delaware was held in New Castle at the house of Governor Lovelace in September 1672, when George Fox visited the town. After William Penn became proprietor of the "Three Lower Counties," as Delaware was then known, regular meetings were formed in Newark, Centre and New Castle. Regular meetings did not begin in Wilmington until 1735 when William and Elizabeth Shipley built a one-story brick house near Fourth and Shipley Streets that was used for worship as a Preparative Meeting, officially beginning in 1738. In 1750 the status of Monthly Meeting was granted by the Concord Quarterly Meeting. The first dedicated meetinghouse was built across the street from the current site in 1738 and measured 25 feet (7.6 m) square. The second meetinghouse was built in 1748 on the current site and could hold 500 people. The present building was opened on September 25, 1817 and is said to hold 700 people. A school was founded here in 1748 in the meetinghouse built in 1738, which has evolved into the Wilmington Friends School. In 1937 the school moved from Quaker Hill to the Alapocas neighborhood of Wilmington. John Dickinson, the "penman of the Revolution," is buried in the adjoining burial ground, as are abolitionist Thomas Garrett and Delaware Governor Caleb P. Bennett. Garrett, one of the best known conductors on the Underground Railroad, was a member of the meeting, and lived on Quaker Hill at 227 Shipley Street. He worked closely with Harriet Tubman and is said to have helped 2,700 slaves reach freedom. About 1,500 people came to his funeral at the meetinghouse in January, 1871 where Lucretia Mott spoke.

After sitting silent for a number of years the speedway was reopened in May 2006. In 2015 the track was slightly shortened by reconfiguring turns one and two, bringing them in several feet further. The track had previously been believed to be measured as a half mile on the inside; now it is believed to be measured as a half mile on the outside. BD Motorsports Media LLC is managing the speedway's operations since 2016. A special-events schedule of high-profile programs was planned to bring some of the region's top talent to Sussex County, Delaware. The current management team revamped the track throughout the 2016 season, including fresh paint, new improved signage, track maintenance equipment, and a revamped sound system. Multiple touring series, including Big/Small Block Modifieds, Super Late Models, and 360 Sprint cars are now featured at the track. More improvements were announced for the 2017 season such as a lap counter and scoreboard that was purchased from the former Thunder Valley Speedway in Central City, Pennsylvania.

Iron Hill School No. 112C

Iron Hill School No. 112C, also known as the Iron Hill Museum, is a historic one-room school building located near Newark in New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1923 and is an example of schools for African American children built in the 1920s by Progressive Era philanthropist Pierre S. du Pont (1870–1954). Building The school is 1+1⁄2-story, rectangular frame, wood-shingled building on a concrete foundation with a medium-pitched gable roof. The building measures 24 feet by 48 feet, and features a pedimented portico centered on the gable end in the Colonial Revival style. The current building is largely unchanged from its original form. History In the 1920s, Pierre S. du Pont funded the building of a number of schools built for minority students. Delaware schools buildings at the time were outdated, and very few new buildings had been built since the turn of the century. Buildings for black and Native American students were particularly insufficient. Du Pont visited schools himself and saw children attempting to study in crowded, unsanitary buildings with very little teaching equipment. A school was opened in the area in the late 1870s, though attendance was poor, and it was not open at all in the 1918–1919 school year. A new building may have been constructed in 1904. The existing building at the time the new school was built measured 14 feet (4.3 m) by 16 feet (4.9 m) and served around 30 pupils in 1901 and 1910. The school was designed by architect James Oscar Betelle and built in 1923 on land given to the State Board of Education by the Whittaker Iron Company. Education was provided for grades 1 through 6 by a single teacher, as in most black Delaware schools through the 1940s. Attendance improve significantly after construction of the new building, and attending children wrote letters to Du Pont thanking him for the school in 1926. The school was used until school segregation was abolished, which occurred at Iron Hill in 1965. After it was closed, it was used for exhibitions by the Delaware Academy of Science, which purchased the building in 1973. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The school now houses the Iron Hill Museum, part of the Iron Hill Science Center. Its exhibits include area iron ore mining, Lenni Lenape history and culture, rocks and minerals from around Delaware and around the world, mounted area wildlife, and a display of fossils found in the state. In 2017, the museum began to host powwows. In 2021, it opened an African American History Trail to explore the history of the school and the local community, which has been repeatedly vandalized.
