What a lovely little gem of a town next to the beautiful Delaware River. If you're a history nerd like me, you'll love it. If not, you'll still love it. William Penn landed here in the 1600's, a signer of the Declaration and the Constitution lived and died here. It's a beautiful, quaint, little historic river side town.

nothing short of amazing seeing American history in-person. loved the cobblestone streets(and some walkways) left from many many years ago. despite the weather, it was such a beautiful place to visit. just wish we had gone a day later at least since it seemed a lot of the shops/historical sites were closed(open friday-sunday I guess). still was fun to visit!

During our visit to Wilmington we wanted to go and see the Delaware Bay and beaches so we stumbled upon the town of New Castle. It was an adorable town full of history and celebrating the Spirit of Christmas. In the center of town was the court house museum which was full of artifacts and historical memorabilia from the first state. There were several guides inside who were very helpful and provided interesting information on the history of New Castle and the courthouse. Would recommend taking the short drive to New Castle and definitely stop by the courthouse!

It's an honor to finally have this wonderfully historic section of my home state inducted into National Park status. I absolutely love this place. The sunsets here are stunning! There's so much rich history here. you could spend days and days wandering the streets learning about all of the historic figures that have stayed here in the past. I highly recommend spending the day here, wandering around this beautiful park
