DelawareÕs compact size and proximity
to major cities of the U.S.Õs
Mid-Atlantic region make it easy
to access and explore.
Only in Delaware can you view
the worldÕs most extensive collection
of Early American furniture and
decorative arts, listen to a Caruso
recording on an early-model Victrola,
learn to cook over an open fire,
and visit the spot where the U.S.Constitution
was first ratified, all in one
day!
DelawareÕs natural beauty, one
reason Thomas Jefferson dubbed
it "the Diamond State", is its
most prized possession. Waves
roll up on the stateÕs 25 miles
of sandy beach, inviting visitors
to get their feet wet. Woodland
trails, peaceful waterways, and
vast nature preserves create the
perfect setting for wildlife watching
and enjoying the great outdoors.
The many museums and historical
sites found throughout the state
are a testament to its pivotal
role in American history. Off-Broadway
theatre, opera, dance, and award
winning music can also be enjoyed
here.
Tax-free shopping at one of the
stateÕs retail outlet centres
is another popular pastime. For
those looking for something a
bit different, shops specializing
in antiques, chic apparel, and
local artistry can be found throughout
the state. |
