The Zwaanendael Museum was built in 1931 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the first European settlement in Delaware. The building is a careful adaptation of the town hall in Hoorn, Holland, which was constructed in 1613. Its exhibits illustrate the rich history of Sussex County and its maritime connections, including the 1631 Dutch settlement, the 1798 shipwrecked Brig DeBraak, the War of 1812 Lewes bombardment, the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse, and other changing exhibits.
