What visitors say
A quaint little museum. It was a nice respite from the heat. We learned about the Nanticoke culture. The attendant was friendly and very informative. The place is kid friendly. They have a nice tableau of a nature scene with taxidermy.
Small but a beautiful place. The guide was very polite and friendly. Many things to see and a lot to learn. Average time to spend is about 30 minutes. Great place to visit while you are are in Delaware.
I just went the to get a shirt. I was there last year and it is an amazing museum. Lots to see and very helpful staff. The jewelry is made by hand from the staff. I highly recommend stopping in to see some amazing history.
