Lewes, What’s Going On?, Activities, Events, Entertainment, Delaware, The First Town in the First State
Historic Lewes was founded in 1631. Charming streets, beautiful scenery, quaint, great shopping and diverse restaurants, are some of the attributes of Lewes. But, I have said it many times before; the residents really make the town. They are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. You want to come back again and again. They are proud of their town.
