- Winterthur, the DuPont Estate, Wilmington
Flickr / Robert Lyle Bolton Wintherthur is one of the most magnificent DuPont Estates along the corridor, and the garden has to be seen to be believed. Be sure to check out their enchanted woods, which is a few acres of land built up by the resident faeries.
- New Castle County Courthouse
Flickr / Ryan Keene The New Castle County Courthouse is the center of the famous 12 Mile Circle that defined Delaware’s borders. It’s also one of the oldest in the country, and the museum here is worth visiting to see Delaware history up close.
- Chalybeate Spring, Brandywine Springs Park, Wilmington
Facebook / Friends of Brandywine Springs This mineral spring was so famous that it eventually led to an enormous amusement park and resort being built in the Brandywine Spring area. Though the park is long gone, the spring was recently excavated, and you can still visit this natural wonder today. Read more about it right here.
- Fort Delaware, Delaware City
Facebook / Fort Delaware Fort Delaware was an important Fort during the Civil War, all the way up through World War II. It’s one of the most haunted places in the world, and in the fall, you can participate in late-night paranormal adventures here.
- Trap Pond State Park, Laurel
Flickr / Chesapeake Bay Program Trap Pond State Park is home to the northernmost Baldcypress Swamp in the country, and paddling through these unique trees is an experience everyone should have at least once in their lives. If you’re not much of a kayaker, you can join Trap Pond’s rangers on a pontoon boat tour to spot wildlife and learn about the park.
- The Indian River Inlet (and the Bridge!)
Flickr / Geoff Livingston The Indian River Inlet is a beautiful geologic feature that Delaware can really brag about! The Bridge that stands here is a wonder in itself - click here to read about its interesting and tragic history.
- Cape Henlopen
Flickr / shell game Cape Henlopen may be the crown jewel of the First State. Our most beautiful beaches, one of the best state parks in the country, and a ton of history all in the same spot. With endless birding opportunities, delicious dining just steps away, and one of the best Atlantic Ocean views in the world, you can’t beat the Cape.
