The Old State House is on a quaint little street in a cute part of town. There was plenty of nearby…read moreparking when I went. 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.

I really like old buildings and have enjoyed visiting Philadelphia and Washington DC old historic…read morebuildings. This building and the furniture inside of the Old State House were uninteresting to me. Though the stairs were enjoyable to see inside and outside. I posted a picture of the marble stairs on the outside. There was a volunteer finishing up with some people who liked history, and they said he was very knowledgeable. I was mainly there just to see the building. I would recommend if you are interested in Delaware politics and history go here.

First off - if you gave this museum 1 star YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM…read more This is one of the BEST MUSEUMS IVE EVER BEEN TO. I learned that the Swedes taught Americans how to build log cabins in the 1600's. I learned that rural delaware didn't get electricity until the 1940's. I learned that German POW's in WWII worked on Perdue chicken farms. I even learned that Model T's got modded into Tractors by early 1900's engine hackers. Americans can't remember a time before electricity and it's sad. This museum will show you. It wasn't that long ago! Amazing museum and will return with my kids, my grandkids, and my great grandkids, and maybe even my great-great grandkids if life extension technology gets that far. If the electrical grid collapses and we revert to pre-industrial civilization, I would STILL go back to the museum so I can learn how to plow a field with nothing but a horse. I love you Delaware Agricultural Museum!!!

This was fifth site to visit in Dover, Delaware. I made it last on my list, because learning about…read morefarm equipment did not sound to interesting to me. I glad I stopped here. Some of the farm equipment was interesting, such the apple polisher, and old lawn mower. They had a couple of old fashioned washing machines, too. Inside the museum, there was the oldest log cabin in Delaware, and I could go inside of it. Outside, they had a couple of different buildings that were transferred there from other Delaware locations. To name a few- church, farmhouse, chicken coop, general store, school, and blacksmith shop. I could go into all of them except the church because the museum was fixing it up. These were actual old buildings, and it was very, very interesting to go through them. I like the old general store and the school. If you are visiting Dover for the day, go to the Air Force Museum, have lunch someplace, and go to this museum in the afternoon!

The staff was pleasant and gave me the lay of the land with it being my first time there. I liked that they have a floor dedicated to student art ! The top floor was the main exhibit which was the Elizabeth Catlett artwork from the collection of Samella Lewis. It was beautifully curated and the fact that I was the only person there made it a breeze to get all the pics I wanted. Took maybe less than an hour to get through all 3 floors. I would definitely come back to check out their special exhibitions!

I wish we'd had enough time and energy for a full day visit, so we could properly convey all that…read morethe Arboretum has to offer, but we were limited to a half day following the "Flight to Freedom" walk while we followed both Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass' historical paths, a joint program of the arboretum and local historians to try to sort of simulate the outdoor challenges of escaping enslaved persons. As such, and in early spring, our appreciation was limited to one trail and the amenities around the visitor center, but our appreciation and admiration for the Adkins for even this bare introduction to the extensive grounds is nevertheless deep just from the one visit and left us eager to return on another day to explore the rest of the trails. The front desk person was lovely and kind, and oriented us after we explained why we were there. (The admission price here is tiny; I recommend donating a little extra on top of it. It's a great bargain either way.) They have these old-school mini-walkmen-style audio guides that were helpful but which badly need to be updated to the 3rd decade of the 21st century. They're hard to navigate and harder to hear. Having a borrowed audio guide feels like something from the 1950s; why not just make it available on cell phone, with the text available online or via an app? That was the one clumsy part of the Flight to Freedom path-- only one person at a time could listen to the very low volume on the headphones. While we speculate perhaps they thought this approach would preserve the quiet for other visitors, perhaps a simple imprecation to keep volume low on cell phones would suffice...? I can't think of a good reason not to make the jump to current museum practice. (That plus it's not very disability-friendly if you're hearing impaired or have fine motor problems.) When we could hear it, the audio guide was excellent, including the "bonus" tracks of first person escapee narratives. The content only needs a better delivery mechanism. The arboretum itself was quite alive -- we saw a heron in the woods, ID'd about 20 different species of birds in total either by sight or with Merlin, ran across a blooming hawthorne that was simply riotous with honeybees merrily sucking nectar out, and enjoyed the early blooms. It was a fun time, where one can see through the underbrush but also see the buds and early leaves and many blossoms out. There were also some programs for young children going on, and it's very gratifying to see the place alive with visitors. The little gift shop is fun, and while there's no café (one can understand why) it would be very tempting to bring a picnic, which I suspect (but do not know) is frowned upon. The inviting water feature out front with the signature chairs was a nice place to stop and rest, while we listened to the frogs croaking and somehow avoided early season insect pests.

Even from a distance, the bunker looks so cool and cool enough for me to give it 4 stars. If you're ever in the area, don't hesitate to come to the Battery 223 Cape May Bunker. I'll definitely return when access is available.

Pretty history if you wanted to read…read more Battery 223, constructed in 1943 at Cape May Point, New Jersey, was a crucial part of Fort Miles during World War II, designed to protect Delaware Bay's shipping routes from German naval threats with its two 6-inch rapid-fire guns capable of a 15-mile range. The bunker, built with 6-foot-thick reinforced concrete walls and a blast-proof roof, originally sat 900 feet from the ocean but now lies on the beach due to erosion. Notably, the structure included 20 rooms, such as shell and powder rooms, a plotting room, and an airlock to safeguard against chemical attacks. Post-war, it was used by the Navy for radio communications and became part of Cape May Point State Park in 1962. An interesting fact is that Battery 223, now abandoned, is rumored to be haunted, adding a layer of local folklore to its historical significance

The camping lots were on the smaller side but if you happen to match up with some good neighbors, than you're in for a wild weekend! The concert stage wasn't too far walking distance from the camp lots and was very well marked. The shower trailer was FREE and was perfect on those hot summer days, and the porta-pottys were cleaned on the reg. Overall, was a great weekend and I am looking forward to going back next year!

Attended a Deanna Bogart concert here tonight and it was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've…read moreever had in Dover! Deanna's music is great and deserves her own review, but this is simply about the venue. The Schwartz Center is without a doubt the most under utilized gem in the state capital! The theater is simply beautiful inside and out, the acoustics are wonderful, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The lighting is professional and very well done. (Had to throw in a note for my buddy John Moller!) I do wish they would bring in more well known acts, but not enough tickets are sold to make it worth while. Dover residents need to wake up and realize they have an alternative to traveling to Wilmington, Easton, and Philadelphia.

I thought the seats could have been slightly more spacious but that is to be expected in an auditorium. I enjoyed my visit to the Schwartz Center which is a wonderfully decorated facility with a lot of charm and look forward to another great show when I am in Delaware.
