The Zwaanendael Museum in Lewis, Delaware, is a gem! My girlfriend and I had an amazing time there today. The exhibits are fascinating, especially the artifacts from the show. Bill and the woman who worked upstairs were very passionate about what they do. They knew a lot about all of the different pieces and were very welcoming. It's evident they do a great job.

The back garden is awesome, and the building itself is beautiful. We took pictures in the back with all the flowers and the fountain. The only complaint I have, which is somewhat significant, is that the first exhibit doesn't fit the theme of the museum. It's very random and seems better suited for a pageant museum, fashion museum, or an LGBTQ museum. It doesn't make sense for it to be in a museum dedicated to colonial, pre-American, Revolutionary War, Royal Navy, and Dutch history. We heard other visitors complaining about this exhibit as well. It's the first exhibit to your left when you enter. I highly recommend that the state relocate this exhibit to a more fitting venue where it can be appreciated by those interested in that subject, rather than in a shipwreck museum.
