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!

This was the last lightship built for the U.S. Lighthouse Service (since folded into the US Coast Guard) and only one of the two lightships built in the 20th century. Overfalls (not her original name) was built in East Boothbay, Maine in 1938. This was the last lightship built with a riveted construction. Nearly all ships are now built using welded seam technology. Lots of history here including her service in three separate stations: 1938 to 1957 in the Long Island Sound near Old Saybrook CT, 1958 to 1962 near Martha's Vineyard and in 1962, she was reassigned to Boston Harbor until taken out of service in 1972. In 1973, the Coast Guard donated the ship to the Lewes Historical Society (LHS) to serve as a floating museum here. The Overfalls station is in the mouth of Delaware Bay where lightships had served as a mid-channel marker from 1898 to 1960 when the station was discontinued. Overfalls was recently towed to Dorchester Shipyard for repairs and repainting. So please check their site to see when it's back. [Review 18204 overall - 118 in Delaware - 1726 of 2022.]

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.

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.

The tour guide was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Came with my friends on the first day of our CM vacation on a weekend.

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..

CAPE MAY: The non-profit Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum is an awesome experience and…read moreone of the most unique attractions we have ever experienced with Brie! Set in a World War II era hangar, the museum has over 25 historic plans, jets, helicopters, exhibits, artifacts, and more! It also memorializes the 42 naval aviators who died while training at this facility. The museum is pet friendly and dogs must be on a leash. A really cool thing to do is to go inside some of the planes and sit in the cockpit! We met a staff member, Bethany, who was fun to talk to about the museum and its features. This is a great spot to visit any day, and especially when the weather is not cooperating, since it is all indoors. Parking is free and be sure to get a puppy potty break in before entering the museum. Thank you to all Veterans! Typically, their hours are: In Season: March 5 through November 30, 10AM-4PM Daily Off Season: December 1 through March 4 10AM-4PM Mon-Friday (Closed Saturday & Sunday) NOTE: NAS WILDWOOD AVIATION MUSEUM WILL BE UNDERGOING REPAIRS AND WILL BE CLOSED TEMPORARILY FROM 10/9/23 THROUGH 1/1/24
