Destination? Lewes, Delaware, Delmarva Historic Haunts, Lewes Historical Society, The First Town in The First State, Saturday, October 25, 2014, Southern Delaware, Delaware Beaches
For the past couple of years every time the end of October approaches I start thinking about Delmarva Historic Haunts. I wanted to go on one of the haunts…..Lewes is the perfect town for such an experience. Aren’t you curious?
Lewes is The First Town in The First State. It was founded in 1631 and then incorporated in 1883. That makes it Delaware’s oldest settlement. Its history is on display throughout various historic buildings in Downtown Lewes.
We are meeting Delmarva Historic Haunts, http://www.delmarvahistorichaunts.com at 10:15 p.m. at the Lewes Historical Society Complex….at the Schoolhouse. The haunt will begin at 10:30 p.m. There is another “haunt” at 7 p.m. but I think the later one will be bone-chilling! Yikes!
I am dragging a few of my usual suspects. They are always game for something outside of their box.
I cannot help to think of Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church located at Mulberry St. and Second St. The parish was established in 1681 and the original building was completed in 1724…..This church has the oldest cemetery in the State. The graveyard is a snapshop of time.
The 2 oldest graves are by the corner and against the wall of the church. The graves connect the past with the present.
The Labyrinths at St. Peter’s are a path of peace.
So will it bone-chilling or not? I will just have to let you know!!
Note: An affiliate of NBC News will be filming on Saturday at this event. You can find Delmarva Historic Haunst on Facebook.
