The Seaford Historical Society invites you to visit some of the most unique sites in the local area.

The Governor Ross Mansion & Plantation. Is the only site in Delaware that describes plantation life around the Civil War period. Learn about the life of a governor, slavery in Sussex County, and enjoy expansive grounds with auxiliary buildings that were necessary for the operation of a large plantation.

The Seaford Museum has a fun, intimate flavor, that follows an historic timeline with a local perspective. Its fiber optic lighting, unique displays and stories make it a real jewel to visitors.
