Learn about efforts underway to save the historic and environmentally important Fourth Street Preserve.

IIn 1670, the first officially deeded land in Lewes was granted by the Duke of York to the town's earliest settler, Helmanias Wiltbanck--30 of the original 104 acres of Wiltbanck's beloved preserve remain pristine and undeveloped today, right in the heart of Lewes. Three families owned this land for 312 of the past 355 years. Their tales involve attacks by pirate ships and the British, death and survival during the fever years and a prominent but forgotten judge who helped write the original Delaware Constitution and fund its Revolutionary War troops.
