The History of Brandywine Hundred’s Shellpot Creek
In November, we welcome local historian Scott Palmer to provide the history of Shellpot Creek. From the earliest water-powered mills in Delaware, to a site that would later entertain thousands, to places you would never think to look, Brandywine Hundred's Shellpot Creek has a rich and largely forgotten history of milling. Join us on a journey that began more than 350 years ago, as we rediscover the Seven Mills of Shellpot Creek.
Bio: Scott Palmer is an amateur local historian and writer, and is the author of the Mill Creek Hundred History Blog. Proudly born and raised in Delaware, Scott has been researching and writing about the Mill Creek Hundred area (and beyond) for more than 15 years. He enjoys uncovering stories from Mill Creek Hundred's history (and from Brandywine Hundred, where he now resides) and sharing those stories of past people, places, and events with a wider audience of local history enthusiasts.
