This Entire Town In Delaware Was Turned Into A State Park You Can’t Pass Up

Delaware is proud of its First State status, and recently, Delaware State Parks has taken several historic sites and combined them into the First State Heritage Park. This one-of-a-kind park without boundaries opens up much of our capital city for exploration and interpretation.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
