Since before Colonial times, Delaware has stood at a crossroads of American history. Native Americans blazed a trail, and the Swedish, Dutch and English would follow. Between now and then, time has left a legacy of historic attractions: A Civil War fort. A Revolutionary War battlesite. A landscape shaped by a corporate dynasty, and a story that is as old as the nation itself. Explore the historic attractions of Delaware here, or travel the Delaware History Trail for a step-by-step guide.
