You will enter a world that is both exuberating and exhilerating. Sailboats, crab shacks, and beautifully tanned people line the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Their goal is to relax on one of the many beautiful beaches and have the time of their lives. Once here you have entered a world of history and a million things to do. Most people will find themselves heading to Rehobeth Beach, Delaware Ocean City, Maryland or one of the many historical cities that both Delaware and Maryland have to offer. The Zwaanendael Museum, in Lewes, Delaware offers the history of Delaware’s early settlers and is packed into a reproduction of an old Dutch town hall, it was built in 1931 and the museum shows many settler artifacts and details the British bombardment of Lewes in the War of 1812.
