Page 7 - 2106-17 Wilmington Visitor Guide

welcome
If all you’ve seen is I-95, then you’ve never really seen Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley.
Discover a place of history and beauty that’s hidden in plain sight.
Everyone who has travelled the eastern seaboard of the United States has spent at least 20 minutes in Delaware.
But if that’s all you know, you’ve missed far too much.
You may not know that you’ve been within minutes
of glorious, world-renowned gardens and museums. You’ve missed the chance to eat at restaurants that the Washington Post says are “worth a train trip.” You’ve passed by hundreds of years of history, driven past protected wetlands that serve as a vital oasis for migratory birds, overlooked countless miles of biking and hiking paths . . . and spent far too much elsewhere when you could be shopping in tax-free Delaware.
Because here’s a little secret: Northern Delaware might be small on the outside, but it’s bigger on the inside.
In the Brandywine Valley, we sit at the crossroads of the Mid Atlantic — just at that place where north meets south. The rolling green hills and quiet byways of the Brandywine Valley could easily find a home in upstate New York or Vermont, while waterfront nature preserves overlooking the Delaware Bay provide a complete change of scenery in less than an hour’s drive . . . if you don’t stop for a crab cake sandwich along the way.
There’s more to do than you think. More to see than you have time for. And more to discover than you could ever imagine.
Think you know this area?
Come back and visit. Come back and see all you’ve missed. And you’ll come back time and time again.
