About
The Indian River Life-Saving Station was established at Bethany Beach, Delaware in 1876 to rescue mariners shipwrecked along the Delaware coast by the United States Life-Saving Service. The facility was designed in 1874 as a 1-1/2-story board-and-batten frame structure with decorative brackets supporting overhanging eaves in a version of the Queen Anne style.

I stopped at the Indian River Rescue Station to see the early ocean rescue history of the area. It was interesting to see that ocean rescue has not changed much over the last 100 years. The building .
Seeing this place was like walking into a shift in time. Seeing how the people lived, the hours they worked, the dedication required. It was a very educational experience, worth the time to tour
Finally went here due to a complete lack of sunshine. You don't need much time or money to visit. It's a great peek into the hardships of those who paved the way for us to safely enjoy the beach. Chec
