Visitors and locals will experience first hand pieces of the history of Rehoboth Beach such as the birth of the town as a Methodist camp meeting site and its growth as a resort town. They will also learn about shipwrecks, submarines, storms and sand dunes.
The Jolly Trolley began when a group of locals wanted to have a means of transportation that would let visitors get a feel for the sights, sounds and different experiences of two resort areas Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach. The Jolly Trolley began its first runs in 1970.
The Rehoboth Beach Museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Ave. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. For information go to www.rehobothbeachmuseum.org.
