Lewes 250

Honoring the Past. Celebrating the Present. Shaping the Future.

The countdown is on! In 2026, the United States turns 250! As the First Town in the First State, our historical town, Lewes holds a special place in America’s story. And we’re getting ready to honor that legacy in a big way.

Lewes 250 seeks to celebrate and share the full legacy of the American Revolution and how it has continued to shape our community in the First Town in the First State. From local stories and historical milestones to community events, exhibits, and festivities—you won’t want to miss a moment.
