The Rehoboth Beach Historical Society celebrates the founding and history of Rehoboth Beach through the operation of the Rehoboth Beach Museum and events such as the annual gala, luncheons and lectures, exhibits and other programs. Exhibits range from vintage post cards and bathing suits to original Civil War era maps and train schedules. We have an active group of volunteers. Please visit the museum and joinus for one of our fun and educational programs!
Current Display - Sand Pails
Below are just a few images from our current exhibit on the history of the sand pail. Some of the pails are one hundred years old! All are from the Collection of Robert Smith, who was generous enough to lend us a portion of his collection. This exhibit will be on display through May, 2010. Please stop by the museum to see all of the wonderful pails and toys!
The video on the right is from an interview public television station WHYY conducted with Robert Smith. Sit back, take a moment and learn a little about sand pails......
