Lots of history in Lewes Delaware, and this is one of the best exhibits to see! First, this is located in the Cannonball House located on Front Street. There's a $5 donation per person for self guided tour. You're greeted by a historian in period dress who gives you an overview of the town's history and the exhibits. Although the house appears small, they've packed a lot of history and exhibits in each room. Each room is dedicated to a specific part of history --defending the town during the 1812 war; the fishing industry; wireless transmitter; building the breakwater; and pilots role to safely pilot boats up the Delaware Bay and River to ports of Wilmington and Philadelphia.
