Museums Near Me in Dover, DE

Did you know that Dover was founded in 1683 (That’s a long time ago!) and it is the capital city of the country’s FIRST ever state! (That’s Delaware to geography fans) 

This also gave the city plenty of time to create amazing places to visit with kids, and it worked!

This great city has an incredibly history, so naturally museums feature a lot. The Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village has great exhibitions from the advances over the centuries. They can also explore the Air Mobility Command Museum which have some pretty cool aircraft on display!

There are fascinating insights into the old way of life too, with John Dickinson Planation. Living history!
