| Delaware State and Visitors Information |
| |
| The first of the 13 original colonies to ratify the federal
Constitution was Delaware. Since that historic event of Dec. 7, 1787, it has been
known as the First State of the Union. The state's speedy ratification of the Constitution
helped the state earn its nickname. The profile of Delaware combines elements that mark
the character of all of the United States. |

| There is no place quite like Delaware. Escape to "Chateau
Country" for riveting landscapes made famous by Andrew Wyeth’s paintings. Watch
the sun rise over the ocean at the Great Dune near Lewes and a great blue heron as it
takes flight from the marshlands of Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge. This year, retrace
history along the Nanticoke and Broad Creek rivers with the Captain John Smith Reenactment
Voyage. |
| |
| The state capital, Dover, is home to one of the most beautifully preserved capitol
complexes in the nation, captured by the First State Heritage Park. Old New Castle is a
charming town to visit with its original cobblestone streets, colonial homes and guided
historical tours. And don’t forget the coastal town of Lewes, which tells the story
of Delaware’s seafaring past that dates back to the 1600s. |

| Enjoy a romantic getaway at one of Delaware's many bed and breakfasts, country inns,
historic hotels, urban inns, guesthouses, homestays or cottages. |
