On Saturday, October 6, 2018, Historic Coastal Towns offer you a glimpse of earlier times in Fenwick Island by touring six historic cottages and the 1856 lighthouse.   Present owners are graciously opening their history-filled rooms to the public between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.  Beginning August 1, limited tickets must be purchased in advance at Sea Shell City in Fenwick, at Ellen Rice Gallery in Ocean View, at Made By Hand in South Bethany, or on line at www.thequietresorts.com.  Tickets are $25, and proceeds support the creation of a new Coastal Towns Museum at 40 West Ave. in Ocean View.

While Fenwick Island homes are open this year, historic cottages in Bethany Beach will be featured in 2019 to support the developing Coastal Towns Museum.
