Sweet history just strolling along

Lewes Historical Society volunteers Denise and Paul stroll along the historical complex grounds after their shift.

Around Valentine’s Day, LHS annually opens the old schoolhouse doors to the public for a history lesson in chocolate, from the origins of the cocoa bean to how it came to the colonies and how the early Americans used the chocolate. Historic interpreters led by Director of Education, Marcos Salaverria demonstrate the early technique. The payoff for learning history on a Saturday is a tasty frothy chocolate drink.

Stay tuned for the full story in next week’s Cape Gazette.

  • Photography grounds me and elates me. I am inspired by nature and its perfection. I see things that compel me to take a photograph, things that are ordinary, or small and go unseen by others. This is my purpose as a visual story teller. See my work in the Beach Paper and the Cape Gazette, or visit my website denyhoweth.com.
