New Castle Puts on the
Charm
D
edicated history buffs cannot help but adore charming New Castle, Del., just
a short motorcoach drive south of Wilmington on the banks of the Delaware
River. Founded as a Dutch fort in 1651, William Penn arrived here in 1682 before
continuing on to establish Philadelphia. The town became the capital of the colony
in 1704, and briefly the first capital of the State of Delaware in 1776. Although some
notable New Castle homes and businesses were destroyed in a disastrous 1824 fire,
much remains from the colonial area. The Green was laid out in 1655; located at one
end are the 1703 Immanuel Church and its 1822 tower, both of which unfortunately
were burned to the walls in a 1980 fire and were subsequently rebuilt. At the opposite
end of The Green, the Court House was constructed in 1732, and along the eastern
side is the 1809 Arsenal, which is reportedly destined to become the Visitor Center
and Headquarters of Delaware First State National Monument. The oldest house in
the city, dating from 1700, contains the Dutch House Museum, and there are many
other structures in town that date from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. New
Castle offers a truly outstanding setting for a memorable walking tour.

HISTORY BUFFS DEVOUR DOVER
Historic downtown Dover contains the many state government buildings, businesses,
and homes that have been erected since the city was established in 1683 and became the
seat of state government in 1777. In addition to the 1933 Legislative Hall (Delaware's
State Capitol), your group tour will find many attractions in the First State Heritage
Park, including The Green; the Old State House; the Woodburn, Hall, and John Bell
houses; Rose Cottage; the Biggs Museum of American Art; Methodist, Christ Episcopal
Church, and Presbyterian cemeteries; the site of the Golden Fleece Tavern, where in 1787,
Delaware delegates made the state the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution; the Old Brick
Church; and the Johnson Victrola Museum. A unit of the Delaware First State National
Monument is also located here.
