Coined as America's first seaside resort, Cape May became the country's summer resort destination…read morebecause of its effortless transport by water from Philadelphia to the Atlantic Ocean. Early visitors of Cape May included Henry Clay, Ulysses Grant, and possibly Abraham Lincoln in 1849. Victorian-style architecture was the most common style used from the 1860s to 1900s, during Cape May's reconstruction. Perhaps one of the best-known Victorian houses is the Emlen Physick House. As Cape May's only Victorian house museum, visitors can tour inside, as it was part of our combo trolley ticket. Named for Doctor Emlen Physick, he completed his medical training but did not practice medicine and lived off of his generation's wealth. Designed in 1876 by famed architect Frank Furness, the mansion is an excellent example of a stick-style house. It's characterized by geometric shapes and partially exposed timbers that hint at the house's support structure. An eighteen-room fully furnished features with period-accurate Victorian goods and offers a glimpse of what life was like in the late 1800s. The tour guide, Chris,, was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Well worth the extra few dollars!

To purchase alcohol, you needed to present your id and get a wristband which I thought was a good idea. However, I had to stand in a long line to purchase drink tickets even though I wasn't really sure what I was going to drink. I didn't find this to be a good system, and others around me in line seemed to agree. Additionally, there were several food trucks featuring BBQ, burgers, and hotdogs as well as sweets. Places to sit were limited, so it may be helpful to bring chairs or a blanket. There was also a variety of merchandise vendors along with two different live bands, neither of which appealed to me but seemed popular. Parking is limited, so we had to park about 4-5 blocks away.

In order to make room for a new, larger brick courthouse to be constructed on the same grounds, that building was relocated from The Circle onto Bedford Street in 1837. In 1976, the original Courthouse underwent restoration, and it is periodically utilized for special events. The original whipping post is still standing on The Circle. The marker reads, "Constructed in 1791 at the direction of the State Legislature, this structure served as the seat of Sussex County government until 1837, when it was sold and moved to this location to make way for the construction of the present County Courthouse. It was later used as a private residence, and also served as a printing shop. On September 20, 1962, the building and lot were conveyed to the State of Delaware. A major renovation project was undertaken in 1974 with funding provided by the State and the National Park Service. The building was dedicated on Return Day in 1976, in honor of the nation's bicentennial." There is parking off the Georgetown Circle, so if you're nearby check this place out.

Walked around the grounds in March before most plants had come out. Liked the planted area called the Larry Franz Woodland Walk. At the back of this area, walk past the ribbon tied on a tree. Then go down a steep trail to circle back along the Ma and Pa Trail to the parking lot. Good to see the snowdrops, crocuses, hellebores, dead leaves, and fungi on tree trunks! Without leaves, you can see further through the forest. Slippery when dry! Some steeper trails are slippery as the dry leaves slide over rocks hidden under the leaves

The location is perfectly located for wedding at St. Marks Church is Fallston (~10 minute drive). The venue is a little pricey (~$3000 + insurance for an early slot on a Saturday in October). But it's worth it for the gorgeous setting. I also liked the back entrance where I was able to sneak upstairs and get my dress bustled before having to see all my guests. We came down the main staircase (which the florist was able to decorate) as we were introduced as a couple for the first time. We did not have dancing but did have yard games set up. We used one portico as a bar area and the outside terrace area for cornhole. We had a giant jenga set as well on the concrete terrace area. You do have to pick from a specific list of vendors when it comes to food. They have Dean and Brown on their list though which is one of the highest rated catering places in Harco. Overall, the wedding went off without a hitch and I am so glad that I held it at the Lirio!

The tours were free, but it wasn't crowded and we basically interrupted the guide's phone call. She did give us a personalized one-on-one tour after debating if she should wait to start the tour on the hour and said she'd be mad if someone else came in. She did give off a vibe like we were interrupting her sitting around time. Despite that, she was very knowledgeable on the history of the building, and it was nice to be able to look around with someone and ask them questions. The inside really seemed a lot like Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It's amazing the small, perfunctory building was in use until like 1933. There was a really nice painting of George Washington in one of the rooms and good information on early delegates. If you are in the area, it's a free stop and there's free parking, and there's good information and not too long to see. It was worth visiting. No gift shop though.

There is a parking lot if you want to stop and read the marker. It reads the same on both sides, "Prior to 1775 this hundred was claimed as part of Worchester County, Maryland being named for Lord Baltimore.

A "hundred" was how counties were originally divided going back to England. On October 25, 1682, William Penn directed that Delaware be divided into hundreds for the purposes of taxation. It comprised ten tithings of ten freeholder families each or one hundred families. [Review 18165 overall - 87 in Delaware - 1687 of 2022.]
