The Seaford Historical Society invites you to visit two of the most unique places on the shore.

First, come see the Governor Ross Mansion & Plantation. This is the only site in Delaware that describes plantation life around the Civil War period. Learn about the life of a governor, the unusual way slavery was handled in Delaware and enjoy expansive grounds with out buildings.

Second, discover a real jewel. The Seaford Museum has a fun, intimate flavor, is run by volunteers, and covers history with a local perspective. You will be amazed at its quality plus you will hear stories you can't hear anywhere else.
