Wildwood: A Body With Many Parts

By Gail Hayman Cohen

I envision the Wildwoods as a body with many parts, alive and thriving, with each part of the body wholly dependent on the other body, the bones so to speak, is our history, which weaves the many stories that have come from many centuries of experiences. Many of those stories are found in our historic buildings — structures of all types —Victorian, Folk, Italianate, Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Doo Wop, etc. Our shared history comes alive here every day. Visitors to our island can come to appreciate the many layers of our journey…some sad, many joyful…and learn and then share. We owe it to our ancestors as well as future generations to embrace and protect our history.
