New Historical Marker Unveiling – Greenwood School 222-C

The Delaware Public Archives invites you to attend the unveiling of a new State of Delaware Historical Marker recognizing:
Greenwood School 222-C, which served African American children in the Greenwood area during the era of segregated education.

Built in 1922 with support from philanthropist Pierre S. du Pont, Greenwood School 222-C provided elementary education and served as an important center for community life. For four decades, the school supported the education of local children and hosted activities that brought the community together. The marker honors the school’s enduring legacy and its contribution to Delaware’s educational history.

The unveiling ceremony is free and open to the public and will feature remarks from state and local officials, community members, and representatives of the Delaware Public Archives.
