Title: Woodlawn Trustees Awarded $2M Grant for Historic Preservation
Description:

The Woodlawn Trustees in Wilmington has received a $2 million grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for its 300-acre William Bancroft estate.

The grant funds restoration of three 19th-century stone buildings, a new public heritage trail connecting Woodlawn to Brandywine Creek State Park, archaeological surveys documenting colonial through industrial-age history, and educational programming on the Bancroft conservation legacy.

Executive Director Maria Santos called it ‘transformational.’ The heritage trail opens spring 2027 with ADA-accessible pathways, interpretive signage, and new trailhead parking. Building restoration continues through 2028.

Woodlawn Trustees manages over 1,800 acres of open space and affordable housing in greater Wilmington.
