Rehoboth Beach Historical Society & Museum — Attraction in Rehoboth Beach

A very small museum, but all they ask for upon admission is a donation, so it is very fair. The first room was my favorite, especially the history of Funland. There is also a QR code to a video about eel trapping. I would like to have seen more of these QR codes. It would be an easy way to make the museum more interactive. A fair warning is that parking is very limited and not free. Additionally, if you back into a parking spot, the fine is $50, regardless of if you paid or not. So, don't do that... sigh.... that's the parking's fault, not the museum, so I won't get on my soapbox about that here. Just don't do it. A great museum, located in a great spot of Rehoboth. I highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn a brief history...

The Rehoboth Beach Museum is a free attraction that’s owned and managed by the local historical society.

It was founded in the mid-‘70s and has two distinct parts that give visitors unique insights into the area’s history, culture, and development dating back more than two centuries.

The museum is staffed by local volunteers, so in addition to being a great place to get a quick historical overview on the cheap, it’s also a wise first stop for visitors who are new to the area and aren’t sure about the things to see and do.

Most visitors leave a donation on...

Our experience was beyond lovely and I'd like to begin with declaring my immense appreciation and gratitude for the staff and the director, Nancy- these ladies took the time to speak with myself and my friends and were beyond friendly, informative and patient. The museum itself deserves and rewards every visit; it was rich in both sentimental wonder and historical value. I loved the vintage signs from Hotel Marvel, Gus & Gus Place and so forth- and I can't wait to come back. The Rehoboth Museum is an asset and every visitor- and townsfolk- should visit...
