Nanticoke Indian Museum, Ethnographic museum in Sussex County, United States.
The Nanticoke Indian Museum displays objects connected to the history and daily life of the Nanticoke people, including tools, clothing, and personal items from everyday use. The collection also contains artifacts from the Lenape people and spans periods before European contact.
The museum was established to preserve artifacts and stories of the Nanticoke people, whose history had largely faded from public memory. Building the collection helped restore recognition of this people's presence in the region's past.
The space serves the Nanticoke community as a center for preserving traditions and identity that matter to them today. You can see how historical practices continue through educational events and gatherings that happen throughout the year.
The museum opens during regular hours and offers guided tours where staff members explain the meaning and context of the displays. Plan time to explore at a comfortable pace and absorb the information shared during your visit.
The museum preserves recorded voices and stories from tribal elders sharing personal memories and experiences with their ancestral lands. These direct accounts connect visitors to living voices rather than only to historical objects.
