Built in 1755 and named for Prince George (later King George III), [[Prince George's Chapel]] is one of the oldest churches in the United States as well as one of the oldest buildings in Dagsboro. It became part of the Church of England's Worcester Parish on June 30, 1757, when the area was still part of Maryland. General Dagworthy, who died in 1829, is buried in the chapel's cemetery. Major renovations came in 1967 with the property's purchase by the State of Delaware. It was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1971.<ref>''The Story of Dagsboro Delaware'', pp. 6, 8.</ref>

Clayton Theatre opened in Dagsboro on February 2, 1949, with ''[[One Touch of Venus]]'', a film featuring [[Ava Gardner]], on its single screen. The theater was named for [[John M. Clayton]], a former United States senator and Secretary of State. In the 1950s, a soda fountain operated as Clayton Cut Rate Luncheonette in a storefront adjoining the theater. Although the Clayton now uses digital projection equipment, it continues doing business as Delaware's last single-screen theater.<ref>''The Story of Dagsboro Delaware'', pp. 8, 30.</ref>
