• 3 free places to picnic in Delaware this spring and summer (delawareonline.com) — Canalfront Park in Lewes is spotlighted as a free, scenic picnic spot with docks on the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, open lawns, restrooms, and a newly upgraded pirate-ship playground.

• Coastal Connections: Women in War (coasttv.com) — At Fort Miles Museum in Lewes, new displays spotlight the women who served in World War II, both overseas and on the home front.
