DescriptionLydia Chichester duPont founded the Children's Beach House (CBH) in the early 1930s as a place where she could take children with special needs to benefit from the same healing qualities that she had derived from the coastal environment. While initiating a program unique in the State of Delaware, "Miss Lydia" reserved time to complete an annual task that was important to her. She called a trusted friend and early board member at the start of each summer with the invitation, "Mr. Joe, it's time to plant the geraniums." Bank president Joe Marshall of Lewes joined "Miss Lydia" in planting the flowers whose splashy red blossoms welcomed guests and lifted the spirits of passers-by. Their growth throughout the summer paralleled the children's progress and inspired perseverance. In retrospect, the geraniums, still planted every year in honor of "Miss Lydia", symbolize CBH's determination to address the changing needs of children, while keeping in view its overall mission.
