| Description |
|
The Indian River Life Saving Station offers the bride and groom the unique experience of a beach wedding with a tented reception directly over the dunes on a historic property.
The Indian River Life-Saving Station was built in 1876 for the United States Life-Saving Service. This government organization (later to become the U.S. Coast Guard) was created in response to the alarming number of shipwrecks along the Eastern Seaboard. The Indian River Life-Saving Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and restored to its 1905 appearance in the late-1990s, and is currently operated by Delaware State Parks as a museum and historic site. It is one of the few such stations left standing in its original location and open to the public to learn about this part of our maritime heritage.
