Historic Rehoboth Beach Houses

Any attempt to explore the history of Rehoboth Beach must begin at a tree-shaded cottage on Christian Street. The small two-story structure houses the Anna Hazzard Museum and offers more about the town's roots than any other building in the resort. As one of only a few tent structures remaining from Rehoboth's days as a religious camp meeting destination, the house dates back to the late 1890s and has been maintained in its original state by the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society.

Inside the cottage are hundreds of photographs and documents chronicling the town's evolution from a religious seaside resort to a booming vacation destination. One highlight is a large and detailed aerial photograph of Rehoboth taken in the 1930's. But perhaps the most impressive historical display is the house itself. Rare is the relic that offers physical proof of a town's origin.

Downtown Rehoboth came of age in the era of Victorian influences and evolved throughout the twentieth century to change with the times. Both the residential and commercial area, despite their growth and maturation, have retained the warm and friendly charm and ambiance that reflect Rehoboth Beach's historic past.
