The Port Penn Interpretive Center will not open this summer due to structural damage and safety issues with its foundation.
The DNREC Division of Parks and Recreation is evaluating options to repair the historic structure.
The center is located in the village of Port Penn, about four miles south of Delaware City.
When open, typically on summer weekends, the center offers displays and programs that explain the folklife of the historic wetland communities along the shores of the Delaware River and Bay.
Programs and self-guided walking tours featuring the historic homes of Port Penn and the marshlands surrounding the town will resume once the structure re-opens to the public.
