And hello to you too!! Welcome to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Have you seen the new mural that has been added to the front of the Rehoboth Beach Museum? It is a dramatic “Dive Into History” mural…..A Mermaid!!! Look at it….it is a bright red, vintage bathing-suited diver, with bathing cap and all.
Nancy Alexander is the Museum Executive Director and she states that “While we have always felt that the Museum needed better signage to attract visitors as they drive out Rehoboth Avenue, we’ve wanted to make sure that the images themselves match the history of Rehoboth Beach. What could be more perfect than a large mural celebrating swimming at the beach, and promoting the idea of delving into the history of Rehoboth Beach.”
The Rehoboth Beach Museum is expecting a large turn-out of visitors for the upcoming seasons. The mural stands as a visual icon of Rehoboth Beach’s past and present charm, Nancy mentioned.
I think that for many that have loved to come to Rehoboth Beach for so many years….a stop at the Museum will inform you about this coastal town’s past, and how it really has become a destination year-round.
Beginning Memorial Day week-end, the Museum will open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. It is located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue, right by the roundabout and the Visitor Center. Admission is by donation. Parking is available. More info.? Please call 302-227-7310 or visit http://www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org.
CRUISIN’ EXHIBIT OPENS SATURDAY, MAY 24th.
Cruisin’ at the Rehoboth Beach Museum celebrates the historical perspective and joy of playing with toys on wheels. You are invited to relive memories of recreational times of the past, and enjoy this exhibit of vintage bicycles and toys with wheels on loan from local collectors.
The photo above is of a cast iron motorcycle, most likely made by the Hubley toy company in the 1930’s and will be on display at the Cruisin’ exhibit.
And what further can you expect from this exhibit?
