Nanticoke Indian Museum

The building used for Nanticoke Indian Museum in Millsboro, Delaware was a one room schoolhouse for many years. The official name of the school was Warwick #225, but most who went to the school called it Harmon School. In 1964, the school closed and those still attending were placed in Millsboro School. The building was renovated in1982 and opened in 1984 as the Nanticoke Indian Association. It was also placed on the National Record of Historic Landmarks.

The association wanted to have something for others to learn from; therefore, they found a variety of exhibit pieces like pottery, jewelry, spears, and arrow points. There is a tour called "The People of the Tidewater" which shows the history of the Nanticoke Indian tribe. Patience Harmon gives these tours, as well as answers questions.

The funding for the museum comes from the POWWOW and donations of visitors. Admission is free. The hours of operation are different throughout the year. It is best to call and schedule a tour for those who want to have the full experience. A contact number is 302-945-7022 for scheduling tours and checking hours of operation. The museum also provides various books on the Nanticoke tribe that students of history can use.
