The 9 Oddest Places You Can Possibly Go In Delaware

Delaware gets a lot of attention for being such a small state. Millions vacation at our beaches every year, millions more drive through on I-95 on their way to bigger and better locations. That being said, anyone who just uses the state as a way to get on with their lives is truly missing out on understanding just how weird Delaware can be. Take a look at some of the strangest places in Delaware and see if you agree that our little underrated wonder can be quite odd.

Speaking of Haunted... Crabby Dick's isn't the most haunted spot around. Delaware City is full of creepy places, and none is scarier than Fort Delaware. It's so haunted that paranormal investigations are regularly conducted here in the fall to show off its spooky side.

Fort Miles is odd because how often are military bases turned into State Parks? That's just the case here, as any visitor to Cape Henlopen State Park will attest. You can even climb a 1940s era watchtower, which was only supposed to be up for a few decades.

Lying near the end of a runway at the Eagle Crest Aerodrome, you'll find one of the most unique homes in Delaware. These pre-fabricated homes were created at the height of 1960s modernism, and the Eagle Crest home is one of only a handful left standing. Only about a hundred were ever made. I guess the idea never took flight.
