We came here on our vacation on one of the days it wasn’t quite nice enough for the beach, and I’m so glad we did! We’re from out of town, but had the absolute gift of meeting Paul Lovett and getting to hear him talk about his miniatures of 1910s Rehoboth Ave. Paul and this exhibit are such treasures. We could’ve listened to him recite the history of this street for even more hours than we did (I think we may have stayed for at least 2!).

Truly an expressive selection of local Delaware history. Second floor features a rotating exhibit. Space is completely accessible with elevators and plenty of parking.

A very small museum, but all they ask for upon admission is a donation, so it is very fair.
The first room was my favorite, especially the history of Funland. There is also a QR code to a video about eel trapping. I would like to have seen more of these QR codes. It would be an easy way to make the museum more interactive.
A fair warning is that parking is very limited and not free. Additionally, if you back into a parking spot, the fine is $50, regardless of if you paid or not. So, don't do that... sigh.... that's the parking's fault, not the museum, so I won't get on my soapbox about that here. Just don't do it.
A great museum, located in a great spot of Rehoboth. I highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn a brief history about Rehoboth.
