Reviews
"Very interesting. Two display rooms. One on Delaware. The other on African American history in Delaware. You need lots of time if you read everything."
"Not a single word about or from the people and cultures that were there first. History is shown only from the start and perspective of colonisation and civil rights. Important but far from enough!"
"This was an interesting museum. I enjoyed the Delaware history exhibits and the African American exhibits. Old Town Hall was also interesting"
"Very big, very informative. I have been a native to Delaware my entire life, although short I still never knew most of the things brought into the light at this museum. I'm not sure how much regular admission is, but for college students with ID it's only $5. Worth the price, worth the parking meters (parking is along Market St, most are meters, 2 hrs max)."
"This museum is so well done. They had a lot of interesting artifacts and explanations covering a range of state history. The best thing, though, was the section on black history in DE. Absolutely well done! I learned things that I have never heard before, particularly about the state of schools for the black population 100 years ago, which promoted the Dupont family to reach into their own pockets to make a difference in the lives of these children. I also learned that DE played a role on the plaintiff's side in Brown vs. the Board of Ed, and even information about DE's involvement in the underground railroad. This place is a well-kept secret! Very reasonably priced, as well, and it even has student discounts. I would definitely go again. I'm pretty sure that I didn't even see everything!"
