Anna Hazzard Museum


The Anna Hazzard Museum is located at 17 Christian Street in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The museum provides an early history of Rehoboth Beach, most specifically its early religious history. There are a variety of displays relating to religion. The museum is part of the original "tent" houses that were built in the 1870s. During this time the beach was a camp meeting area. The museum was named after Anna Hazzard, the owner of the house and a very prominent civic leader.

It is a small business with only four individuals on staff. The museum has been in operation for 35 years offering the history of the area. Rehoboth Beach is considered a tourist location, which means during the summer many individuals from in state and other areas of the US travel to the beach city.

Anna Hazzard Museum is open longer during the summer to accommodate the tourists who visit the island. During the off peak, the museum is open a few hours a week, with minimal staff. The staff is educated in Rehoboth Beach history and is happy to answer questions. The displays are often of early camp life, beach history, every day use items, and photographs.
