Membership in the Delgado/Spofford Mills Association is for those employees, family members, and descendants
thereto, who worked in Delgado Mills, Spofford Mills, Inc, & during the ownership of the mill by the Lowenstein
Corporation during the years from the initial opening in 1900, until the "last whistle blew" and the mill was closed in
1967.  For most of those years the families lived in houses furnished by the mill owners for very low rates because of
extremely low employee wages, in an area in Wilmington, North Carolina known as the "Mill Hill."

Membership is provided to those residents who now live on "Mill Hill" or operate small businesses, churches, who
support the Delgado/Spofford Mills Association, and  support its Charter, goals, and purposes, and contribute
financially to support the organization.  The types of membership are: Charter Members, Regular Members and
