In the 1880s, Woodland Beach was a resort area that was the terminus for the Kent County and Delaware Bay Railroad and daily steamboats from the Delaware City, Salem, and Philadelphia Steamboat Company.[3] Amenities included the Woodland Park Hotel; a two-story pavilion with live music, a bar, restaurant, glass observatory on top, and games such as billiards, shuffleboards, and archery; a forested park area with tables, chairs, and swings; and facilities for fishing, swimming, and hunting.[4]
The Thomas Sutton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
