Historic Cemetery Tour, Lewes, DE
We enjoyed the Historic Cemetery Tour of St. Peter's Episcopal Church Cemetery in Lewes, Delaware. We spent an hour and a half in the very capable hands of the President of the Board of Trustees of the Lewes Historical Society (and fellow Association for Gravestone Studies member) Russ Allen. I hope to get a few more of the great Lewes Historical Society events in before the end of the summer.
