You'll see a 1983 marker in a small landscaped area that was the joint effort between  the Delaware River & Bay Authority, the Colonel David Hall Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Lewes Historical Society. It's inscription reads: UNKNOWN SAILORS' CEMETERY Lewes has been a Port of Call and a Harbor of Refuge since the 17th century. For generations during the age of sail, a public burial ground in this immediate locality became the final resting place for hundreds of sailors who lost their lives and whose unidentified bodies were here cast ashore. In remembrance of those persons whose remains are sheltered on this shore, this memorial is placed. May they find eternal repose.

It is a cast-iron structure that was built in 1926 and is designed to handle even the most intense Atlantic weather. It is 76 feet tall and has a black base, a white conical tower and a black lantern level at the top. The light on the tower has been replaced a few times but it currently operated by solar power and includes a fog signal that is also powered by solar. I saw the lighthouse today from the Lewes-Cape May Ferry https://www.yelp.com/biz/cape-may-lewes-ferry-north-cape-may-4?hrid=eqhIEWJmJAJ_9Ndxpt223w but it can also be seen from the tip of Cape Henlopen State Park https://www.yelp.com/biz/cape-henlopen-state-park-lewes. The lighthouse is operated by the Delaware River and Bay Lighthouse Foundation. While the lighthouse is not accessible from land, there are boat tours that bring you to the lighthouse, if that's something that appeals to you.

After the County Seat was moved from Lewes to Georgetown in 1793, the original Sussex County…read moreCourthouse was built on The Circle. In order to make room for a new, larger brick courthouse to be constructed on the same grounds, that building was relocated from The Circle onto Bedford Street in 1837. In 1976, the original Courthouse underwent restoration, and it is periodically utilized for special events. The original whipping post is still standing on The Circle. The marker reads, "Constructed in 1791 at the direction of the State Legislature, this structure served as the seat of Sussex County government until 1837, when it was sold and moved to this location to make way for the construction of the present County Courthouse. It was later used as a private residence, and also served as a printing shop. On September 20, 1962, the building and lot were conveyed to the State of Delaware. A major renovation project was undertaken in 1974 with funding provided by the State and the National Park Service. The building was dedicated on Return Day in 1976, in honor of the nation's bicentennial." There is parking off the Georgetown Circle, so if you're nearby check this place out.

The marker reads, "The origins of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows can be traced to the creation of beneficial trade societies in England. Composed of craftsmen who practiced a variety of different or "odd" occupations, the purpose of these organizations was to support the needs of members and improve the communities in which they lived. The I.O.O.F. was formally established in this country in 1819. In 1834, the Odd Fellows of North America separated from the English Order. Some years later a group of Milton residents organized for the purpose of establishing a local lodge. On September 15, 1848, a charter was granted for Golden Rule Lodge #17. In 1853, members voted to buy a suitable piece of land on which to erect a Lodge Hall. The first meeting was held here on January 3, 1855. In later years the Odd Fellows' women's organization, the Rebekahs, also met here. Like many such facilities, this structure was designed to include space for business and community use on the first floor, with a lodge room above. From 1920 until 1980 this was the location of the town's library. Since its organization, Golden Rule Lodge #17 has continued to emphasize the principals of "Friendship, Love, and Truth" through its services to the citizens of Milton." The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a non-political and non-sectarian organization. Notable Odd Fellows include jurist Hugo Black, Senator Robert C. Byrd, actor Charlie Chaplin, cattle Baron John Simpson Chisum https://www.yelp.com/biz/john-simpson-chisum-equestrian-statue-roswell?hrid=yVrjloSOxJbYIMq_B3VMfQ, United States Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Warren Harding and Rutherford Hayes and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles Lindbergh, and Supreme Court Chief Justice Earn Warren. This is marker number SC-216 and was erected in 2007 by the Delaware Public Archives. [Review 18185 overall - 102 in Delaware - 1707 of 2022.]
