Approach your visit with curiosity. Notice the character of the setting and the details that catch your eye, whether they relate to the built environment, the way spaces fit together, or the atmosphere of the community.

A short visit can be part of a relaxed day of exploring Delaware, or it can serve as a reason to spend more time getting a feel for this part of the state.
