The Seaford Historical Society was organized in 1972. In 1976 the Society purchased the Governor Ross Mansion along with 12 acres of land and outbuildings. In 1993 they purchased an additional 8 acres of land. In 2001 the old Seaford Post Office was purchased for use as the permanent location of the Seaford Museum. The Seaford Museum opened to the public on June 1, 2003.

Since the organization of the Seaford Historical Society, membership has grown to over 500 members. The interior of the Governor Ross Mansion has been renovated and is now furnished and is used for tours and other functions of the Society, such as Youth Interpreters, Teas, Victorian Christmas, etc. Since opening the Museum in 2003 many exhibits have been added, most recently the Nanticoke Maritime Gallery.

The Seaford Historical Society’s mission is to “Preserve, Protect and Present Seaford History” and is a non-profit organization under Sec 501(c)3.

Great job working together.

Sussex County officials have approved a lease agreement with the Woodland School House Association for the former Woodland Schoolhouse west of Seaford, which is being renovated and will eventually serve as an interpretive and education center. Under the agreement, approved by County Council on Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2017, the County will lease the historic one-room structure – which stands at the front of the County’s Woodland Park – for $1 a year, while volunteers will manage the former schoolhouse. Recently, County officials joined with members of the association and other affiliated groups to ceremonially turn over the keys to the building. Pictured, left to right, are: Kevin Phillips. Bethel Historical Society; Hildegard Rieger, executive director of the Nanticoke Heritage Byway; Dan Parsons, Sussex County historic preservation planner; Charlie Rieger, Nanticoke Heritage Byway; Todd Lawson, Sussex County administrator; Michael Vincent, Sussex County Council president; Bill Collison, Seaford Historical Society; Donna Tate-Steinbiss, vice president, Woodland School House Association; Karl Steinbiss, president, Woodland School House Association; Jack Knowles, Woodland resident; Donna Angell, Woodland Ferry Association; and Wanda Miller, secretary, Woodland School House Association.

The schoolhouse and park will be the backdrop for the upcoming inaugural Nanticoke Heritage Festival, set for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30. The festival will feature numerous vendors, a car show, kids’ activities, Native American demonstrations, and a Civil War encampment.
