Delaware Division of Public Health

has announced that the

first case of measles since 2012

The

in Milford. Whether you’re familiar with the 1925

“Scopes Monkey Trial”

The Delaware Public Archives is presenting a free seminar Friday morning about how African Americans can trace their heritage using federal, county and organizational records all the way back to the era of slavery.
