It was chilly and bit breezy Dec. 6, but that didn’t stop hundreds of people from walking through the Lewes Historical Society’s Holiday Village & Market. 

Various artists, artisans and small business owners offered holiday-themed items for sale. The society also opened several of the historic buildings on its campus for tours. 

Only a limited number of people were allowed onto the campus at the same time. Visitors were required to follow a one-way path through the campus, and everyone entering was required to provide their contact information for contact tracing purposes.
