Our New Website Adventure
President’s note
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We're excited to announce the creation of a brand-new website for the Historic Willington, SC Bookshop and History Center! This digital hub will be your gateway to discovering the rich history and cultural heritage of Willington like never before.
Our new site will offer a seamless and engaging experience, where you can explore our unique collection of rare books, historical documents, and local artifacts. You'll also find information on upcoming events, educational programs, and community initiatives designed to preserve and celebrate our town's legacy.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, a curious visitor, or a member of our community, this website will connect you to the stories, resources, and experiences that make Historic Willington so special. Stay tuned as we bring the past to life online, making it easier than ever to support and engage with our bookshop and history center!
As many of you know, Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to our beloved center. We are working diligently to restore the facility and preserve the invaluable history housed within our walls. Our team is actively pursuing FEMA assistance and various historical grants to fund the necessary repairs and enhancements. Your assistance in the form of donations is most welcome.
We deeply appreciate your continued support and look forward to sharing more updates with you soon.
Warm regards,
Jean Able
President, Willington on-the-Way
