Historic Maull House now open for tours every Saturday
The Thomas Maull House in Lewes commenced its summer programming July 5. The house is one of the oldest remaining structures in Lewes, and is owned and operated by a local chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
The building, constructed around 1739, changed hands several times before landing in the possession of the Maull family in 1836. It remained in the family until ownership was passed to the White Packing Company, which offered the structure to the Col. David Hall Chapter of the DAR.
The Col. Hall Chapter is interested in increasing representation for historically marginalized members of society that supported the patriot cause, namely female, African American and Native American individuals.
The Maull House recently underwent an extensive renovation and now boasts authentic depictions of various time periods throughout the house’s history.
The house will be open to the public every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Aug. 30. Visitors will be treated to tours led by knowledgeable volunteer docents, colonial-inspired children's games and occasional musical performances.
