The 2024 History Book Festival would not be possible without the generous financial and in-kind support of dozens of organizations, businesses, and individuals. We extend special thanks to our Presenting Funding Partners: Delaware Humanities, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | PenFed Realty. They have been with us from the beginning, sharing our belief in the power of history, reading, and civil dialog to influence the future for the better.

Special thanks to our Founding Program Partners: Lewes Public Library for both event production and promotion; and to Browseabout Books in Rehoboth, our official bookseller

Thanks also to the Cape Gazette and Delmarva Public Media, our media partners; and to the Lewes Chamber of Commerce, for event promotion.

Help make history! Support the History Book Festival by becoming a funding partner.
