Historic New Castle
Historic New Castle is a charming old town with cobblestone streets and colonial brick buildings. It sits right on the Delaware River and looks much like it did centuries ago.
It is famous as one of the best-preserved colonial towns in America, where William Penn once landed. Visitors love the riverside green, old courthouse, and quiet lantern-lit streets.
History
This town was Delaware's first capital and holds buildings over 300 years old. You can visit the old courthouse and imagine life in colonial days.
Riverfront
A grassy green runs along the Delaware River, perfect for a picnic and boat watching. Kids can run in the open park while ships pass by.
Strolling
The flat cobblestone streets are easy and safe for a family walk. Pretty gardens and old lantern posts make it feel like stepping into the past.
