About Us :

Our Chamber markets Lewes as a destination with an advertising budget of $25,000 and ad placements in national and regional publications.

We also are the banner sponsors for major events that draw people to Lewes including the Boat Parade in conjunction with the full-day Boast the Coast Maritime Festival in October, Hospitality Night and the Lewes Christmas Parade, Tulip Celebration, Great Delaware Kite Festival on Good Friday, the British Motorcar Show in May, the Lewes Garden Tour in June and the Fourth of July Boat Parade. We work with other organizations that sponsor events to help promote them.

History of Lewes, DE :

History Buffs Rejoice!
With a history dating back to 1631, it is not surprising to find many homes in Lewes of both historical and architectural interest. Only a small number of them are listed here. A map and visitors guide which lists many other sites of interest with a small description is available free of charge at many local businesses, museums, and at the Chamber of Commerce information center. For more in-depth information, the History of Lewes Delaware and Vicinity, published by the Colonel David Hall Chapter, DAR, is a good reference book. It is available for a minimal charge in the gift shop at the Zwaanendael Museum. Another booklet, Victorian Lewes and Its Architecture, is available at the Lewes Historical Society and at the Chamber office.

Please respect the privacy of the families who live in our old homes, many of which are open during the Annual Christmas House Tour, held the first Saturday in December.
