Delaware s Historic Courthouse: Latest finds include 124-year-old penny, possible liquor stash
Also found was a seashell, apparently carried to Delaware from a beach along an ocean, Hawes said. Somebody just had it there to remind them of vacation time or something. That, I was told, was back behind a baseboard. And how it got back there I can t even hope to tell you. But that was another one of the goodies that they found, she said.
The historical material was framed for hanging by Benny Shoults of Frame Artistry, 176 W. Lincoln Ave., Hawes said. In talking with Benny, we decided, Let s create what they call shadow boxes to mount them properly, and we can display them. They ll kind of be like their own little history lesson for the building, she said.
