Explore the Cultural Riches of Delaware
Many know of Delaware’s glittering beaches to the south, but we are equally as proud of our cultural riches to the north, both in-state and in neighboring states. The area surrounding the University of Delaware abounds in museums and cultural attractions, including Winterthur, downtown Wilmington’s Riverfront Park and restored Grand Opera House, Old New Castle, and nearby Pennsylvania’s Longwood Gardens, Lancaster County’s Amish community, and the Brandywine River Museum, home to paintings by the Wyeth family.
