The Zwaanendael Museum is located in Zwaanendael Park, a vibrant area in Lewes, Delaware, that showcases the region's heritage and offers a serene escape from the hustle of downtown. The park features the historic Fisher Martin House and an authentic 1700s Colonial herb garden, highlighting plants used for culinary and medicinal purposes by both Colonial housewives and Native Americans.
Managed by Lewes in Bloom, a local volunteer beautification organization, the park is a testament to community involvement in maintaining the beauty of public gardens and parks. Visitors can enjoy a central fountain surrounded by benches, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and reflection amidst the colorful landscapes of summer.
