Star Hill A.M.E. Church, established circa 1863 in Dover, Delaware, serves as a historical landmark that played a significant role in the region's African American community and abolitionist efforts. The church, originally named Star of the East, is believed to have been involved in the Underground Railroad, using its name as a symbol of guidance for escaping slaves.

Overseeing the Star Hill Museum, curator Lucreatia Wilson leads tours and educational programs highlighting Kent County's Underground Railroad history. As a founding member of the Underground Railroad Coalition of Delaware and the Star Hill Historical Society, Wilson emphasizes the importance of local heritage through her work at the church and museum.
