Have you ever paid close attention to the old brick buildings in Delaware? They might fit in at first glance, but some of them are much older than they seem. With history built into the brick and mortar of this building, there are many stories this historic home in Delaware could tell you. Between the beauty of an old home and all the knowledge you can learn from this time period, it’s a great reason to visit New Castle.
Welcome to the historic Amstel House, a stunning beacon of history in New Castle that never gets old, despite its age.
The free-to-visit gardens are well taken care of for a casual visit, but if you can snag tickets to an ALive event, you'll be in for a treat. During an ALive event, Amstel House is alight with a special energy from the people who have called this residence home over the years.
Inside this stunning early Georgian structure, history sits within the brick itself. With plenty of TLC, even this old kitchen fireplace looks just like it would while the house was in regular use.
Thankfully, the kitchen still sees use, with regular cooking right at the hearth. Making traditional food takes a bit more effort to cook, but it's a fun way to learn old methods and share the process with history fans.
