点评:I did not realize that the Lewes History Museum was a part of the Lewes Historical Society. When I visited the first time, I thought is was a free standing museum that displays the history of the town of Lewes, DE. The museum displays an extensive part of the Society's collection.
The museum is housed in the old library of Lewes and has interesting displays on town history, the Beebe Hospital, the Revolutionary War battles, town businesses, Decorative Arts of different eras, the Shipping Industry, the Farming industry, Native American population artifacts and prominent members of the community. The displays are very detailed and there is something for everyone.
What is nice about admission to the museum is that it is a $5,00 donation that also includes a trip to the Cannonball Museum closer to downtown. The docents are also very nice and very informative.
翻译:我没有意识到刘易斯历史博物馆是刘易斯历史学会的一部分。当我第一次参观时,我认为这是一个独立的博物馆,展示特拉华州刘易斯镇的历史。博物馆展示了协会藏品的大部分。
该博物馆位于刘易斯的旧图书馆内,展示了有趣的城镇历史、Beebe 医院、独立战争、城镇企业、不同时代的装饰艺术、航运业、农业、美洲原住民的手工艺品和著名的社区成员。展示非常详细,每个人都能找到适合自己的东西。
进入博物馆的好处在于,它是一笔 5,00 美元的捐款,其中还包括参观离市中心更近的炮弹博物馆。讲解员也很好,信息量很大。
