Discover the Trail
Welcome to
the Delaware
History Trail!
The Delaware History Trail will guide you

through the historical crossroads of our great
nation. From the meeting place of the Leni
Lenape Indians to the site where Delaware
was the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution,
you will experience a celebration of historic
architecture, beautiful estates and one-of-akind museums. As you travel back in time,
you will become acquainted with Delawares
early settlers, influential patriots and
pioneers who fought for the ideals of our
nation, and the creative minds driving the
Industrial Revolution.
Within the boundaries of our state, your
quest along the Delaware History Trail will
allow you to explore centuries worth of
history while driving from gorgeous country
sides to award-winning beaches. We invite
you to rediscover the path Delaware has
taken during the most significant historic
moments of our state and nation.
