Tunnell-West House (c. 1860)
Ocean View, DE
This modest frame dwelling has stood in the small Sussex County town of Ocean View since about 1860, on the eve of the Civil War, when this stretch of coastal Delaware was still a quiet landscape of farms, timber, and small crossroads communities well before it became a beach-resort corridor. Homes like the Tunnell-West House anchored such towns, passing through local families across generations. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places marks it as a recognized survivor of that antebellum era, worth preserving as the region around it transformed.
Bowling Alley
Bethany Beach, DE
In the summer of 1930, Thomas Granville Walston and his wife Minnie Ann opened a bowling alley on the Bethany Beach boardwalk, between First and Second Streets, in what was then a quiet Methodist-founded seaside resort on Delaware's Atlantic coast. For decades it was a fixture of boardwalk life, later carried on by their daughter Zada and her husband Bill Wildus. Like so much of America's early-20th-century beach-resort culture, it eventually gave way to changing times, remembered now only by this marker's promise that it is "gone but not forgotten."
History of the Canal: The Lewes-Rehoboth Canal
Rehoboth Beach, DE
The Lewes-Rehoboth Canal was dreamed of as early as 1803 but sat unbuilt for generations, its ten-mile cut between Delaware Bay and Rehoboth Bay meant to speed farm goods toward the markets of Baltimore and Philadelphia. Real digging began only in 1866, and it took the backing of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a 1912 act of Congress to finally see it through, opening in 1916 and finishing in 1923. Much of it was carved by a suction dredge that worked the streambed like an underwater vacuum.
Wallace Carothers
Seaford, DE · est. 2000
At the DuPont laboratories, chemist Wallace Carothers began pioneering studies here in 1928 into 'giant molecules,' confirming that long chains of repeating units — polymers — could be built by design. His research led swiftly to neoprene, the first American synthetic rubber, in 1932, and in 1939 to nylon, the world's first fully synthetic textile fiber. Carothers laid the scientific groundwork for the age of plastics before his death in 1937.
