ABOUT THE AREA
(Kent County, Delaware)
FILLED WITH THE PAST, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING ITS
FUTURE, THE KENT COUNTY AREA OFFERS ALL THE CONVENIENCES.
From the Amish buggies riding along the back roads to the massive aircraft
on the tarmac at Dover Air Force Base, Kent County is home to the past and
the future. Proud of its commitment to protect wildlife along the Atlantic
flyway, and its preservation of a proud agricultural heritage, this small
county offers residents a rare opportunity to revisit the grandeur of
Victorian and Colonial history, to see the folk crafts lost to technology,
and to experience the simple pleasures of the land. You’ll find Amish
buggies on city streets, delicate shorebirds and giant C-5 Galaxy military
cargo planes, quiet museums and exciting NASCAR races, arts and antiques,
Colonial history, slots and harness racing. Most of our twenty delightful
museums and historic sites offer free admission.
