August 20th, 2022, Wilmington held its big celebration with a Bicentennial Parade followed by a town-wide gathering at the Wilmington Town Beach with a BBQ, entertainment, a display of children’s history project posters, and a book signing of the Wilmington Historical Society’s new book Wilmington’s Story: The First 200 Years. Residents, former residents, and local and area dignitaries attended the event, making it a great success. As one local put it, “Everyone had a smile on their face all day.” Produced for the Wilmington Historical Society by Clint Weber of the Weber-Furlong Collection of Modern Art Productions (501)(c)3, Public Domain production WFCoMA.
