Sussex is the southern most county of Delaware. It is rich with a railroad heritage dating back to the early 1850’s.  Railroads were constructed to provide expanded markets to farmers and to open the smaller towns to improved passenger service. Lewes, Delaware had a major menhaden fishing industry which too benefited from the expanded transportation opportunities provided by the railroad.

The mission of The Lewes Junction Railroad & Bridge Association is to preserve, display and interpret the historical significance of the railroad to Lewes and Eastern Sussex County, Delaware, in an authentic and appealing setting for the education and enjoyment of the public.
