This former state is capable of giving visitors
a pretty good idea of what life was like in 1655. Largely enacted
prior to Delaware’s secession from Pennsylvania, New Castle
has successfully retained the charm of early America.
Brick buildings, cobblestone streets, old Episcopalian churches,
courthouses, graveyards, and ancient mansions have been well kept
and restored by a town proud of its historically significant past.
It is a simple and worthwhile gesture to take a walking tour of
the old, uneven streets that cater largely to incoming visitors
and history buffs.
The Delaware River provides some recreation and nostalgic views
and the lively Atlantic shoreline is just a short drive away. |
