Museum to present Lewes-Rehoboth Canal history March 11

The Rehoboth Beach Museum will present a Conversations on History program online at 2:30 p.m., Thursday, March 11.

Paula Roberts, museum exhibit coordinator, will narrate a slide presentation of her research on the history of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, and the industry and commerce that once thrived on the canal banks in Rehoboth. The presentation will include excerpts from various oral histories that include memories of residents through the years.

Participants will hear stories about crabbing and fishing as well as general mischief from those who grew up during this busy commercial time on the canal. Audience members may come prepared to share memories and stories as well.
