Nothing like spending some time at the beach. Rehoboth is one of those unique towns that have pretty much everything; small town beach atmosphere, restaurants, shops, a great boardwalk, miles of beach and best of all its residents.
Rehoboth keeps you busy year round. Following are some of the events and activities that will be going on as July opens up:

The tours will include the Museum itself and the Anna Hazzard Tent House.
The Anna Hazzard Tent House is located at 17 Christian St. It was, originally, located on Baltimore Avenue and moved to its current location in 1975; opened then as the first Historical Museum in 1977.
The tour will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Anna Hazzard Tent House (17 Christian St.).
Tour goers will then drive to the Rehoboth Beach Museum located at 511 Rehoboth Ave. This Museum is located in what used to be the town’s ice house.
Two exhibits are being hosted:
