LEWES, Del.- Tower Hill in Lewes, Delaware has unveiled new dedication plaques in front of the community commemorating the early settlers and indigenous ancestors of the land. The project is the result of a partnership between Carl M. Freeman Companies and Ralph Prettyman, author of A History of Tower Hill: Revisited.
The City says the plaques were made to deepen the connection between current and past generations while fostering a profound sense of belonging and unity with the community.
“The landscaped frontage of Tower Hill was completed in partnership with the Historic Lewes Byway. The intent of these landscapes is to evoke and enhance the historic, natural, and aesthetic qualities of the area. Plaques recently unveiled along its frontage provide a wonderful opportunity for increased awareness and appreciation of this area’s history.,” stated Mary Roth, Executive Director of Delaware Greenways.
