Seaford Museum

There are a lot of museums in Delaware and really in all of the original 13 colonies. But one of the best small town museums you’ll ever find rests in downtown Seaford in the old United States Post Office building. Featuring exhibits about the Nanticoke Indians, the infamous Patty Cannon, the old DuPont Nylon Plant and much more, a trip to the Seaford Museum on High Street is a good way to spend your day in western Sussex County, Delaware.
