On behalf of the board of the History Book Festival, we extend our sincere gratitude to all those who helped to make the 2020 virtual festival, Bring History Home, a resounding success!
The festival began in 2017 as a two-day event welcoming 20 authors of historical fiction and nonfiction to Lewes.
Over the next two years, it grew to become a multi-day series of author presentations that encompassed partnerships with other community groups and author visits to Sussex County schools.
We expected to present a 2020 in-person festival, but then the pandemic upended all our lives. Hosting authors online seemed our best option, but when we kicked off the Virtual History Book Festival in June, we had no idea how it would be received.
