We will be going to Cape Henlopen beach next week while we are on vacation. I need directions from the ferry terminal to the Mispillion replica. I know its near Overfalls LS and the Lewes LSS, I just don't know where.

A little help would be appreciated.

Try this link, http://www.lighthousefriends.com/pull-lights.asp and scroll down to Delaware and click on Mispillion. You'll see pics of both the replica and the original and directions to them as well. We visited both sites, but the replica was still being constructed. I believe only the lantern room is original.

Sandy, those directions lead to the old steel tower. I'm looking for the replica light at Shipcarpenter Square.

It's just a little ways down from the lightship. Take Park Ave. south about 2 blocks and you will pass Shipcarpenters Square. It's between 3rd and 4th streets. I believe the lightship is off of Shipcarpenter's St, which turns into Park Ave at 3rd St. Could be mistaken haven't been that way in forever.

Sorry, didn't read what was written on that site. These instructions are from another site:

"The replica can be visited in Lewes, DE. in Lewes, take Front Street/Pilottown Road to Queen Anne Ave. and make a left. Take another left onto W 3rd Ave., then another left onto Park Ave (the two way end of Shipcarpenter Street), then a right onto Shipcarpenter Square. The modern home side is on this street, just as the street bears to the left. To see the lighthouse side, you would take a right onto Burton Ave after you get onto W 3rd after getting off of Queen Anne."
