Essential Information

152 S. State St.
Dover, DE

302-739-9200

The time to visit First State Heritage Park (also known as Delaware’s first “park without boundaries”) is the first Saturday of each month. Test your knowledge of Dover’s rich history via guided tours of Legislative Hall. Don’t miss the Delaware Public Archives, which contains materials from the 17th century to today, or the State House Museum, Delaware’s first permanent capitol building, which was completed in 1792 on The Green. Museum Square is home to The Biggs Museum of American Art, The Johnson Victrola Museum, the Delaware Archeology Museum and the Museum of Small Town Life. You won’t be quizzed, but should there be questions, the nice folks at the Delaware State Visitor Center can tackle any of them.
