REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – The Rehoboth Art League will hold the 70th Annual Cottage Tour on July 9 and July 10, 2019 between 10:00am & 3:00pm. The Cottage Tour Committee has worked for several months to present this year’s selection of seven homes in the Rehoboth Beach area. Each home on this year’s two-day self-paced tour has distinctive characteristics brought together through landscape, interior, artwork, and architectural designs. Some homes have quite a history, and many homeowners showcase memories and collections in unique ways.
The Art League’s Historic Peter Marsh Homestead will be transformed with furnishings and décor by the tour underwriter, J. Conn Scott. Richard Scott, Lisa Scott, and Steve Bendyna will blend modern furnishings and decorations to compliment the historical design with the current exhibition throughout the first floor of the Homestead. In previous years, this has ranged from a white, slipcovered cottage look to a more colorful turquoise theme, and has some years included outdoor dining arrangements with elaborate table-scapes. Each year’s Homestead presentation is a special surprise.
The ticket for the tour is a commemorative program booklet with an image and description of each home on the tour. Tickets are $35 per person (appropriate for ages 13 and above). Tickets are available on the RAL website at rehobothartleague.org or by calling 302.227.8408. The booklets are will be available after June 20th, 2019 and can be picked up at the Art League’s Henlopen Acres campus, 12 Dodds Lane.
