Having lived at the Delaware Beaches for so many years, visiting the local museums, where you can unlock the past so that you can see where we are going, is a must if you are visiting or living, here at the beach. I know, I know, the beach, restaurants, and shops are probably what you are coming to the beach for…these museums will not take a long time. You never know, you might be retiring to the Delaware Beaches; low property taxes and tax free shopping!!!
The Rehoboth Beach Historical Society’s mission is “to preserve and showcase artifacts that illustrate the development of our beautiful city by the sea”.
Until March 17h, the exhibit currently on display is “WWII: Rehoboth Beach” – In Rehoboth there were Coast Guardsmen on horseback, a Civil Air Patrol airfield…the Civil Air Patrol pilots kept our waters safe from the enemy. There were also blackouts and stage door canteens. You can view at the Museum the artifacts that help tell the story of a beach town during the war. A 1940’s kitchen, listen to the music of the Mills Brothers and the Tommy Dorsey Band. Children visiting the Museum can learn how to send a Morse Code. And you can grab a recipe for creamed chipped beef on toast!!
Thursday, February 14th – Valentine’s Day Stage Door Canteen, a Valentine’s Day Musical Revue. The response has been overwhelming, so, instead of holding it at the Rehoboth Museum, it has been moved to Clear Space Theatre located at 20 Baltimore Avenue in downtown Rehoboth Beach, It will start at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 (cash or check only for that night) in honor of the holiday and light refreshments will be served. A cash bar will be available, as well. Please call 302-227-7310 to reserve your seat.
This performance concurs with the WWII exhibit on display at the Rehoboth Museum. Clear Space, http://www.clearspacetheatre.org, will take the audience on a sentimental journey to another era with a presentation of popular wartime songs; Chattanooga Choo-Choo, You’ll Never Know, and I’ll Be Seeing You.
Stage Canteens were special clubs and the guests were the steady stream of GIs headed off to war. Many were leaving home for the first time and the Canteens offered a welcome opportunity to forget their anxieties, if only for a time, with entertainment, fellowship and a little American spirit.
Friday, March 8th – Documentary, “Top Secret Rosies”, in honor of Women’s History Month in March, at the Rehoboth Beach Museum located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue, by the roundabout. The documentary will start at 7:00 p.m. in the museum’s Cooper Gallery. Please note that reservations are required for this event, since the space is limited. All you have to do is call 302-227-7310 and make the reservation. Light refreshments will be served. Free for members of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and $5 donation from non-members.
The film was produced and directed by Leann Erickson. The film explores, with four of the “Top Secret Rosies” the importance of their role in the Allied successes. The 4 vastly different women share what it was like as a human computer and how they sometimes worked night, day and night again. It was up to these women to make sure those in the air and on the battle grounds received the accurate calculations needed to achieve success in hitting their targets.
Have a great day!! Talk to you later.
October 26th, 2012
What a difference!! The weather today in Rehoboth Beach is like night and day. Gorgeous to say the least. It was also the perfect day to kick off the Sea Witch festivities. I was going to do so with a “Magical History Tour” of downtown Rehoboth Beach.
First things first. A stop at The Bake Shoppe, located on Rehoboth Ave. A little coffee and a most delicious pumpkin muffin. If you are in Rehoboth, please stop by. This particular one was crunchy on top and so warm, moist and full of flavor. Coffee was great too.
I was waiting outside with the others, when the Jolly Trolley Bus arrived. The Jolly Trolley originated in 1970. It celebrates and shares the sights, smells, colors and characteristics of the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach resort area. The Jolly Trolley is also a year round charter service. Please call 302-227-1197, and 302-249-1605 for information. You can also visit http://www.jollytrolley.com.
Christine Hastings, Jolly Trolley, Vice President, and I believe part owner, was going to be our Driver. George Palmer was going to be our Tour Guide.
I went into the bus last and, of course, a picture was taken of my fellow Jolly Riders!! Guess what? I did not know one single person.
Since I started my blog over 3 years ago, I have learned so much about our area. Believe me, Rehoboth Beach and the Delaware Beaches, in general, are a great place to live. That’s why they are so easy to promote. I don’t take them for granted.
In order to know how far Rehoboth Beach has come, you need to unlock that past. The Rehoboth Beach Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated “to encouraging and promoting public knowledge of and participation in the preservation of the history, culture, architecture and special character of Rehoboth Beach”. It is not a big museum but the information will show you the progression of a town that is also known as the Nation’s Summer Capital.
The Rehoboth Beach Museum is located by the roundabout, adjacent to the Visitors Center and the Chamber of Commerce, at 511 Rehoboth Avenue. Website? http://www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org. Exhibits, programs and entertainment are part of the Museum, as well. Check the website for upcoming events.
George Palmer was the perfect Tour Guide. His information was full of history given in a simple way and adding local color.
We stopped at the Anna Hazzard Museum. This is one of the original “tent” buildings dating to the 1870s. It reflects the early history of Rehoboth Beach.
Mr. Palmer told us that we used to grow a lot of peaches in Delaware. Delaware, afterall, is an agricultural state. Chickens? Well, he told us that Delaware sells more chickens than anyone in the world.
The magnolia trees are beautiful in this area. This is the farthest north they grow.
And, we started laughing when he asked if anyone had worn wool bathing suits? Well, he had. They were itchy too. There was a time that men had to wear tops too at the beach.
Also, funny was when he mentioned that residents in Lewes consider Lewes with history, but Rehoboth Beach? Oh well, they just have a past.
A drive by parallel to the beach. I took this picture from the inside of the bus. The ocean looked so pretty with the sun’s reflection.
We went by the Village Improvement Association of Rehoboth Beach. At present, it is being rebuilt. This association, also known as the VIA is a”charitable, non-profit organization, founded in 1909. It promotes the interests, improvements and progress of the Rehoboth Beach community. They perform charitable and civic work in and around the Rehoboth Beach area. Its member are women of diverse interests, talents and backgrounds. And, Mr. Palmer said that if you want to have something done in Rehoboth Beach, these are the women that can make it happen. Hmmm…by the way, his wife belongs to it. For more information, please visit http://www.rehobothbeachvia.org.
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting or to some of our locals and natives that might need a refresher course on Downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is only 40 minutes long; you’ll still have time for the beach, shopping and eating.
After the tour I continued walking around Downtown Rehoboth Beach. The shops were getting ready for a busy week-end….I hope Sandy lets visitors enjoy Sea Witch.
A stop at the Rehoboth Beach Post Office…the postal workers were ready!!
The beach looked gorgeous. A sunny and clear day.
The Boardwalk was again, filling up with people soaking up the sun.
And, then my last stop was Lake Gerar. Autumn at its best!! Lake Gerar, along with Silver Lake and Lake Comegys, is one of the 3 fresh water lakes closest to the ocean than anywhere in the country. These lakes are the jewels of Rehoboth Beach!!
I almost forgot…thanks for the water, Jolly Trolley!! Have a great week-end!!
October 23rd, 2012
The Rehoboth Beach Museum opened its doors in the original Ice House in Rehoboth Beach in 2007. Since then, they have been hosting exhibits, lectures and other programs that celebrate the history of having fun at the beach. Since the days when Rehoboth Beach was known as a Methodist summer retreat, this coastal town has evolved into a summer destination. While doing that, it has also kept is charm, while introducing contemporary excitement. The Second Season in Rehoboth is just as busy as the Summer Season…so, guess what’s happening? Sea Witch Festival is this coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The Jolly Trolley has joined forces with the Rehoboth Beach Museum and the Bake Shoppe to give visitors a special treat at the start of Sea Witch Week-End!!

The Anna Hazzard Tent House Museum is located in one of the original “tent” buildings dating to the 1870s.
Originating in 1970, the Jolly Trolley came to its touring fruition, when a group of jolly locals wanted to create a vehicle that would share the sights, smells, colors and characteristics of the Rehoboth Beach – Dewey Beach resort area, with many visitors and other locals.
The current exhibits at the Rehoboth Museum are: “Skimming the Surface” which tells the story of the active surfing community in the area, “Rehoboth Speaks”, the story of the founding and growth of Rehoboth Beach, and a photo tribute to Funland’s 50th Anniversary.

For the ones that love, promote and are still discovering Rehoboth Beach, like me, the Rehoboth Beach Museum give us a starting point to show our guests, families and friends that are visiting Rehoboth Beach, how far this town has come.
The Museum was opened to the public in 2007 with a lot of help from the local community. You are experiencing the Rehoboth of now, but how was the Rehoboth of yesterday? Dive into the local history of the town. For example, both the Rehoboth Museum and the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society call the Old Ice House, home. Old Ice House? Yes, the history is all there. Then, you will realize why Rehoboth Beach, even though it is a year-round resort, it is also called the Nation’s Summer Capital.
The Rehoboth Museum is a small museum, but don’t let that fool you. It is packed with activities, exhibits, celebrations, and programs for all ages. Nancy Alexander is the Director. The Rehoboth Museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-7310. Website? www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org. There is plenty of parking available; handicap access, as well. It is in the same complex where the Visitors’ Center and the Rehoboth Beach Chamber of Commerce are located. Can’t miss it; right by the roundabout.
 Nancy Alexander, Director and one of the girls. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to help out in an event the Museum had for girls. It was an afternoon of tea, with their dolls. Also, it was a time for old fashioned games. The girls that visited talked about their dolls, wrote about them, new friends were met and ate delicious finger sandwiches, pastries and enjoy a delicious and refreshing punch.
  
So, what’s happening at the Museum? So much, that I decided to give them their own post. Let’s get started.
Friday, 6/22 – Fundraising Dinner at Fish On! at the Villages of Five Points in Lewes, at 6:30 p.m. The menu for the evening is inspired by the recipes of the 1940’s. The recipes were created during wartime and were the necessity of those on the home front to give up some basic food options. Don’t worry, though in the 1940s there was rationing, no Spam will be served. The menu, prepared by Chef Jen Blakemen and her team will consist of Hearty White Bread and Butter, Meatloaf, hearty, of course, Savory Herb Bread Pudding. Victory garden fresh veggies, and Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats. Note: Please call the Museum asap, since I am putting this post a little late. Tel. 302-227-7310. Tickets are $40 for members and $45 for future members.
Thursday, 6/28 – “WWII German Submarines in the Mid-Atlantic” – The presentation on Thursday will start at 7 p.m. at the Museum. Capt. William Manthorpe will discuss “Operation Drumroll” and the role of local residents thwarting German sub attacks. Free for members, $5 for future members , $3 for senior citizens, military personnel and students. Please call 302-227-7310 to reserve a seat.
This lecture will examine the real risk to the Atlantic coast by German coastal submarine attacks. Rehoboth Beach was often included in the concern of such threats. The naval defense heritage of Delaware in connection with Rehoboth Beach, and some physical effects of the war such as tar balls found on the shores. Also, the possibility of spies in the immediate are will be discussed.
Thursday, 7/5 – 7:00 p.m. – World War II: Rehoboth Beach. This exhibit was planned and created as a collaborative partnership between the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society, the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs and the Delaware Humanities Forum.
 A WWII German Prisoner of War jacket from the Purnell Collection of the State of Delaware Office of Historical and Cultural Affairs In a continuation of programs relating to the exhibit, Michael Morgan, a retired teacher, has been writing freelance newspaper and magazine articles for over 3 decades. He is currenly working on a book exploring Delaware’s role in the Civil War.
On Thursday, July 5th, the presentation by Mr. Morgan will encourage audience participation. He will reveal what is was like in the day-to-day life of those who lived in the town by the sea. “Rehoboth was literally on the frontlines with ships being sunk within sight of the coast throughout the war. Residents kept a careful eye on the ocean where enemy submarines were on the prowl.”
It will be an interesting evening at the Museum; German subs, blackouts, and Coast Guardsmen on horseback. Call 302-227-7310 to reserve a space.
Sunday, 7/8 – A new program for young writers will be offered at the Rehoboth Beach Museum starting on July 8th. The workshop is limited to 5 children, ages 10-12.

The group will be led by Barbara Smith, former writer and photographer for the Baltimore Sun. It will meet for 5 consecutive Sundays from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.
During the sessions the children will read and discuss The Coastwatcher by Elise Weston, a story about a child living at the coast during World War II. The workshop is geared to the enjoyment of writing. The cost is $35. The Coastwatcher should be purchased or can be found at the library in advance of the session. Please call for more info. and to reserve a space 302-227-7310.
