Description

Located in the Assembly room at Cape Henlopen Senior Center is a remarkably accurate rendering of the north side of Rehoboth Avenue as it appeared over 100 years ago. The mural was painted under the leadership of VIA member Fay Kempton, who has since moved to West Virginia. Paul Lovett, historian for the Rehoboth Beach Museum, will be the presenter at the event and will use photographs from the early 1900s to confirm the accuracy of the rendering. Fay will be returning to Rehoboth for the lecture on April 25 and will answer questions about what motivated the project and how she worked with Rehoboth historian Ed Wright to assure the mural's accuracy.
