February 25, 2021 Volunteers for the Rehoboth Beach Museum transcribed Cape Henlopen City meeting minutes from the 19th century. SUBMITTED PHOTO A group of interested members and friends of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and its museum joined forces to help with a recent research task, adding detail to the earliest days of what became Rehoboth Beach. After helping transcribe a brief poem from the museum’s collection, the transcription team group took on a larger project of transcribing 44 pages of meeting minutes from an early group of area leaders in the late 19th century. In a well-documented attempt to create a religious retreat in the late 19th century, a committee of ministers and laymen from Wilmington formed the Rehoboth Camp Meeting Association. Led by the Rev. Robert Todd, the association bought property from five area landowners in 1873.
