The Nanticoke Indian Museum is the only Native American Museum in Delaware. We are proud of our heritage and we are glad to share our stories with others.

Our Museum displays many artificats that came form our Elders that have passed on and many others that have been donated over the years. We have thousands of arrowheads, stones, pottery, axe hammers, and other objects. Our visitors are educated and recieve insight of the work in creating native arts and leave with many interesting stories to take with them.

We have two rooms at our Museum. The first room has lots of tools that our people used to survive in the old day, an example of our village to show how we lived, and lots of artwork from our tribe and others. The second room has artifacts that go back to 8000 B.C. and older. We have a stage of native clothing that shows how our people dressed and it also features animals (always the kids favorite) from which the clothing was made. Also on exhibith is a wooden canoe that the men and boys travelled in to get the fish, crabs, and other animals.

Our Museum features a gift shop area that has authentic Nanticoke Crafts to sell to the public. We also carry t-shirts from past years Powwows and well as Powwow Books. Our own people make the jewelry, Dream Catchers, earrings, and others that are available for sale. We want to give you the opportunity to take our heritage home with you.

The Nanticoke Indian Museum is listed by the Federal Government as a National Historic Landmark. We are one of 13 such sites within the Nanticoke Indian Community given such an honorable distinction.
