Redway Plain
From colonial times, and for many years after, the local militia used it as a training field. During Indian days, and up to the present. The field has been used to grow a variety of crops including Timothy hay, corn, alfalfa, and vegetables.
Purchased by the citizens of Rehoboth in 1992, the plain is now managed by the Rehoboth Park Commission.
