REHOBOTH BEACH. DEL.
Aug. 22.-Now that the first
hurricane is over vacationists
have returned to enjoying the
waning summer season.
Fishing excursions are as pop
ular as ever. Non-f1Shermen are
absorbed with the history-laden
area around Cape Henlopen. The
Zwaanendael Museum in Lewes
is attracting many vacationists
from the Washington area.
Specimens of marine life from
local beaches that are always
washed ashore after big storms,
such as the one last week end,
have been assembled by Curator
Catharine C.. Maull.
There is a special summer ex-
hibit of Delaware family relics,
ancient china tea and coffee
pots and a special assortment
of relics from old apothecary
shops, used by physicians more
than a century ago.
The Zwaanendael Museum is
housed on the first floor of a
building dedicated in 1882 at the
Lewes Tercentenary to the first
Dutch settlers who arrived at
Lewes in 1881 and called the
settlement "Zwaanendael."
