Museums & Heritage

Coastal Delaware’s history is defined by its maritime heritage and early European settlements. This collection spans from the 1631 Dutch colony at the Zwaanendael Museum to the World War II coastal defenses of Fort Miles. Highlights include the United States lightship Overfalls, historic lighthouses guarding the Delaware Bay, and museums dedicated to the Nanticoke Indian tribe and the region’s life-saving service. Specialized exhibits also explore local telecommunications and the Victorian-era origins of the coastal resorts.
