If you have any interest in shipwrecks of old, the free Zwaanendael Museum is a place to check out…read more There are 2 stories to climb in a building of the 1938 era, so no realistic wheelchair or walker accessibility. There is a volunteer on each of the 2 floors and a short video about the 1980's retrieval of a shipwreck from the late 18th century not far off the coast. Donations and comments are appreciated. Come check it out, and also visit the lovely park behind the Museum.

We did the one hour walking tour of Lewes today and had a great time! Our tour guide was so funny…read moreand engaging! We walked around to a few different houses, graveyards, and buildings on the tour. You don't have to walk all that far, but keep in mind the tour is standing and sometimes in the sun. We enjoyed learning more about the history of Lewes and think the tour was well worth the $10 fee. We will be back again soon!

Wonderful and educational experience! The treasures are real and unbelievable…read more Dale Clifton is a very knowledgeable man. Ask him anything and he will enlighten you. Would go again cause although a smaller space it is full of items and I probably missed something!

Located on the 2nd floor of a gift/shell shop. Free. Some parking in front…read more Glass cases of many found items, from different shipwrecks. Just enough to keep my attention and interest (but not for everybody, so I sent part of our group ahead to check out the shop downstairs).

Date of Visit: July 30, 2025…read more This was an unplanned stop on my road trip from Florida and what a surprise this place was. As I was going from Rehoboth Beach to New Castle I was wanting to take RT 9 north off the beaten path. As I was coming to the RT1/9 split I had traffic in front and behind and they seem to be in a hurry, Neil wasn't. So I pulled off the road at this place to let everyone by. As I came in thru the entrance the sign read "Free Museum" I says to myself "FREE" I need to check it out and glad I did... As I walked inside you have a really nice gift shop that you need to explore and support. The volunteers working were the best. Not sure where to start but as you enter the main area it is just loaded with WWII, Korean and Vietnam displays. Ever wonder how those belly and tail gunners worked, there is a display for that. I know I could not have done it. There is even a mock-up control tower to explore and listen to the base tower giving commands. On my visit I was able to see a C130 take off from the tower. If your ever in the area this is a must stop, especially if your a history buff. And at the end, please give these people a donation for a job well done. Peace.

Coined as America's first seaside resort, Cape May became the country's summer resort destination…read morebecause of its effortless transport by water from Philadelphia to the Atlantic Ocean. Early visitors of Cape May included Henry Clay, Ulysses Grant, and possibly Abraham Lincoln in 1849. Victorian-style architecture was the most common style used from the 1860s to 1900s, during Cape May's reconstruction. Perhaps one of the best-known Victorian houses is the Emlen Physick House. As Cape May's only Victorian house museum, visitors can tour inside, as it was part of our combo trolley ticket. Named for Doctor Emlen Physick, he completed his medical training but did not practice medicine and lived off of his generation's wealth. Designed in 1876 by famed architect Frank Furness, the mansion is an excellent example of a stick-style house. It's characterized by geometric shapes and partially exposed timbers that hint at the house's support structure. An eighteen-room fully furnished features with period-accurate Victorian goods and offers a glimpse of what life was like in the late 1800s. The tour guide, Chris,, was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Well worth the extra few dollars!

I discovered the Brew Fest event on the Cape May TV Channel. The event featured different beer,…read morewine, and alcohol vendors, so I was glad it wasn't all beer. To purchase alcohol, you needed to present your id and get a wristband which I thought was a good idea. However, I had to stand in a long line to purchase drink tickets even though I wasn't really sure what I was going to drink. I didn't find this to be a good system, and others around me in line seemed to agree. Additionally, there were several food trucks featuring BBQ, burgers, and hotdogs as well as sweets. Places to sit were limited, so it may be helpful to bring chairs or a blanket. There was also a variety of merchandise vendors along with two different live bands, neither of which appealed to me but seemed popular. Parking is limited, so we had to park about 4-5 blocks away.

We got here one hour prior to closing. The entrance fee is…read more$16.00. Which is exorbitant for what it is. (The woman at the check in hut gave us half off.) Still a rip off considering we had an hour. The potter was amazing. The knowledge the "shop" keepers had regarding the buildings on the property was amazing. It's just so expensive. $5.00 for ONE blueberry muffin! Won't be rushing back. Go to Williamsburg if you want the real deal!

Also nice is the fact that you can get close (sometimes even inside) to the displays, as compared to some of the larger museums. A lot of local history and the NAS's contribution during WWII. There is also a cool little gift shop at the end (isn't there always) where you can pick up memorabilia. I would plan on spending an hour or so minimum - more if your really want to dig in to the displays & videos available. Great for the family & history/aviation buffs. PS - if you're there earlier in the day - check out the Flight Deck Diner for some good comfort food and displays of patches/aircraft models..
