I Have a Story to Tell
A Lewes 250 Storytelling Series
Every town has a history — but it’s the people who lived it who truly bring it to life.
I Have a Story to Tell is a year-long storytelling series created to preserve and share the voices, memories, and lived experiences that shaped Lewes. Through intimate video interviews, we’re capturing personal stories that connect generations, celebrate community, and honor the people behind the history.
Featuring: Jane Thompson & Natalie Popham
Our first story features sisters Jane Thompson and Natalie Popham, granddaughters of Dr. James Beebe Sr., one of the founding brothers of Beebe Hospital.
In this ongoing series of clips, Jane and Natalie share family memories, reflections on growing up connected to Lewes history, and stories passed down through generations. Their interview was filled with warmth, laughter, and moments that simply couldn’t be told in a single video.
This page will continue to grow as more clips are released across our social channels, allowing their story to unfold piece by piece.
A Living Collection of Stories
As Lewes celebrates its 250th anniversary, this project serves as a living archive — one that highlights not just milestones and dates, but the people who helped shape the spirit of our town.
New interviews and stories will be added throughout the year, featuring longtime residents, generational families, and voices that reflect the heart of Lewes.
Check back often as this series continues to grow.
