About Bridgeville Historical Society Museum

The Bridgeville Historical Society runs a museum in a brick former fire house that the town's first fire company used starting in 1911. The society bought the building in 1977 and turned it into a museum. Its exhibits and website focus on Bridgeville and the northwest part of Sussex County, and the society also maintains nearby Cahall Park and a relocated tenant house.
