The first building constructed in Bethany Beach was a tabernacle, formally dedicated in 1901. 100 years later, in 2001, the current residents of Bethany conducted a memorable and heartfelt Centennial Celebration dedicated to its founding fathers of the Church...

Tiny Fenwick Island is one of Sussex County’s smallest residential towns.

While no one has recovered these legendary riches, much of the Delaware Coast offered refuge to pirates during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Rehoboth Beach also became popular with Pennsylvania patriots during the American War of Independence. In the late 1800’s, the area became home to a church camp association, which laid out a fan-shaped city plan with wide streets, room for parks and an eye for commerce.
