The Rehoboth Beach Museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Right by the roundabout and the Chamber of Commerce. It is a small museum full of the history of Rehoboth Beach. I always tell my guests that it is worth going because it tells you how this much loved town was and where it is going. Throughout the year there are events and exhibits.
Step Back in Time when the members and friends of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society are invited to revisit Rehoboth Beach in the 1950s and 1960s by attending a Sock Hop on Saturday, September 29th from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Rehoboth Beach Museum.
If you are too young to know what this is, local teens once delighted in the summertime Wednesday night “boardwalk dances” held at the foot of Rehoboth Ave., and the colder -weather “sock hops” held in the high school cafeteria. Year round, Snyder’s soda fountain shop on the Avenue was the place to be. As a local hang out for several generations, cherry and vanilla cokes and the house specialty “Bon Bons” are unforgettable sweet treats synonymous with Snyder’s.
Participants are encouraged to wear their dancing shoes (or go boardwalk barefoot style) and dance to oldie selections spun by a local DJ. Requests will be taken. Acceptance is limited. There is no admission fee, but donations will be accepted and appreciated. Please call the Museum at 302-227-7310 to reserve your spot.
Have a great time….This is the Second Season in Rehoboth Beach and not to be missed!!

 At The Water's Edge “The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach-waiting for a gift from the sea.” anne morrow lindbegh

Check this out!!! The Rehoboth Beach Museum has partnered with Discover Bank and the local Boy and Girls Club to help build futures one Lego piece at a time. Dicscover Bank provided funds so that Rehoboth Beach local, Lydia Hastings, graduate of the University of Maryland Civil Engineering program, could create a great environment for future engineers to learn about Lego NXT Mindstorm Robotics. The Museum seeks to link the kinds of engineering tasks that it took to cut, move and store ice in the old ice house, which the museum now occupies, with today’s engineering tasks completed by robot.
Recently, Lydia held a Lego Robotics course at the Boys and Girls Club of America Epworth United Methodist Church location, and it was a resounding success. The first class learned about the different Lego robotic sensors and even how to program their robots to accomplish different tasks. They had a ton of fun!! Next one will be in May….stay tuned.
Hope you have a great week-end TGIF!! At the Beach? Hope so.
March 19th, 2015
A culinary event that will link Rehoboth Beach’s past to modern cuisine!! No better place than to host it than at the Rehoboth Beach Museum, located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. By the roundabout and the Rehoboth Beach Visitor Center. Can’t miss it. This museum is very active offering residents and visitors exhibits and events such as this one. I always recommend a visi to Rehoboth Beach Museum, whether you have been a long time visitor to Rehoboth Beach, or you are discovering it for the first time. From a small coastal resort to a destination….Rehoboth Beach, Delaware is also known as the Nation’s Summer Capital. More info? Visit http://www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org
The Past Meets Paleo! will take place on Saturday, March 28th from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. at the museum. Reservations are required and admission is a canned or boxed food item that will be donated to the Community Resource Center, a charity supported by All Saints Church. The Shelter carries on the work done by the members of FISH Anonymous. Please call 302-227-7310 to make a reservation.
So, this is what’s going on…
Long-time locals may remember the remarkable Helen Tikiob and her generous efforts on behalf of those in need. Mrs. Tikiob formed a group of individuals at All Saints Church that provided help to those in need, including food and rides to doctor’s appointments. The group was named Fish Anonymous, referring to the primitive symbol for Jesus, which is a fish. The group produced a cookbook to sell, with proceeds supporting their charitable efforts. The cookbook was called The Last Resort, a tongue-in-cheek reference to our resort area and the way a busy cook might view the daunting task of selecting a meal to make on a busy day by turning, at last, to the recipes in the book.
Fast forward…..to today’s eclectic tastes in food preparation, and one might look to the Paleo food movement. Paleo food is what some believe is based on food humans’ ancient ancestors might likely have eaten, such as lean meat, nuts and berries.
Another local woman, Denise Vansant, has taken up the Paleo food lifestyle and created a business known as Cave Girl at the Beach. Vansant prepares food for local markets and caters some events. Her father was involved in the food industry, and her childhood was filled with the foods of Armenia and Turkey prepared by her grandparents. She is no stranger to meals made with fruits and vegetables.
The connection where the two women’s lives connect? Denise, a Baltimore girl, married into the local Vansant Family, which is related to the Tikiob Family. Helen Tikiob is her husband’s maternal grandmother…got that?
Upon learning of the cookbook and Denise’s Paleo food business from Denise Vansant, Nancy Alexander, Director of the Rehoboth Beach Museum, followed up on Denise’s wish to blend the two generations of cooks and proposed an event combining recipes from the book updated for today’s tastes.
The result is the event “The Past Meets Paleo”. Denise, the Cave Girl cook, will present food prepared for Paleo palates based on recipes from The Last Resort Cookbook. Member of the Tikiob and Vansant families will be in attendance, a s well as others who helped make the cookbook a reality, including Punx and Jay Wingate.
Call 302-227-7310, make a reservation….take a moment to set aside that canned or boxed food item that you will bring with you as your admission ticket!!
Have a great day in Rehoboth Beach!!

Kate decides to adopt an orphan in Brazil and asks David to be a father figure. David struggles with his self-doubt while gawkily romancing his coworker. This is a truly one of those movies that gets to the heart and soul of a person. If you have ever felt love of any kind, this movie is for you.
