The City of Lewes, Delaware is located where the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet, the area known as Cape Henlopen. The naturally beautiful area with both ocean and bay beaches, trails, and sanctuaries add to the many reasons to visit this small historic city, founded by the Dutch in 1631. In addition to natural beauty, this charming city offers a wonderful historic district, with architecture dating back to the 17th century, museums, special tours, cozy accommodations, restaurants to please any palate, and unique shops and boutiques all within walking distance of each other.
Our Garden Tour draws thousands of visitors from Delaware and many surrounding states. The award-winning Historic Lewes Farmers Market re-opens for 2012 on May 26 and continues on Saturday mornings, through the end of September. Picnic in the Park on June 3 will offer lots of family fun activities, not to mention tasty selections from a variety of local restaurants.
Check our calendar of events for these and other great upcomng activities and plan a visit. You'll discover that you will want to return time and again.
