Ghostly Halloween History Tours
Tuesday, 10/20
Thursday, 10/29
Historical walking tours typically focus on old buildings and how they got there, but in October volunteers from the Newark Historical Society will show you where “the bodies are buried” in Newark. Join us for a one hour, family friendly (but spooky) tour full of stories about the spirits of people who frequent the dark spaces in downtown Newark.

We had to keep this under wraps, but now we can announce that the Newark History Museum - aka the 1877 Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore train depot - is starring in a Hollywood movie!

Newark soon will be getting its moment on the silver screen.

"Want some cake?" Rich Miller (BE '89) serves dessert at the Perkins Student Center Dining Hall in 1986. Photo taken by Karen Mancinelli for the September 26, 1986 UD Review. From the UD Archives. I don't know about you, but I could sure go for their grilled chicken breast sandwich on a kaiser roll with fries right about now!
