A must see place in Lewes. Knowledgable staff and interesting exhibits about the history of Lewes. Nice place to visit on a nice day; walk around the ground, then go into town for lunch.

Interesting small museum with information about the history of the town. We were on a genealogy trip and the staff members were helpful about where to search for additional information.

Good for a quick walk through. The building is very interesting and the gardens nearby are beautiful.

The Zwaanendael Museum is a very iconic building in Lewes, and so it should be, as a representation of the Dutch people who first settled in the first town in the first state. The museum is very tiny, but has a lot of very nice displays and explains about the Dutch settlers, how and why they got here, and how... More

The most interesting thing I remember are the items they collected from the various shipwrecks in the area. Very interesting.

Local sailing and Dutch lore in a building that is a perfect replica of Dutch architecture. The maps of coastal Delaware outlining scores if not hundreds of shipwrecks alone is worth a look. Also, don't miss the map of Holland showing where Dutch visitors come from in that country. Well worth a visit!

Glad to see one of Lewes' highlighted hisorical and architectual buildings but there isn't enough according to guests to hold interest.

This is the place to start for travelers, history buffs and any one who is curious about the historical significance of one of America's earliest towns. Originally settled by the Dutch, this coastal town has a long and rich history. The museum offers background on how Lewes came to be along with wonderful exhibits. Family friendly!

Great Museum full of History and we cannot say anymore good things about the very helpful and knowledgeable staff at the Zwaanendael Museum of Lewes Delaware. It is located right by the Park, also a splendid Historical building
