Bridgeville (dead link: January 2023) is a small town in Southern Delaware.
Bridgeville sits at the intersection of Routes 13 and 404 in Sussex County, and for most is a town passed by on the way to the beach. With the construction of the Route 404 bypass some years ago, most travelers now miss the historic downtown area.
While it has no mass transit, the town has some paved roads that extend throughout the entire local area, facilitating travel by car or bike to the many points of interest in Bridgeville.
Police officers will enforce the traffic code and patrol the area 24 hours a day.
Bridgeville, and most of the surrounding area, is home to some of the largest chicken houses in the state. These are a must see. Persistent explorers may even encounter the elusive double or triple-decker chicken house. Bridgeville is home to the RAPA Scrapple factory. RAPA brand scrapple is the country's leading brand of scrapple.
Bridgeville is host to the annual Apple Scrapple Festival (see www.applescrapple.com) which takes place the second weekend in October every year. The festival has grown every year since its inception in 1991 and this small town (pop 1,500) plays host to about 30,000 visitors over the weekend. Some highlights of the festival include a scrapple-carving contest, antique tractor pull, 5K Hog Jog and the Classic Car Show.
