Dover, DE at a Glance
Early in the 18th century Dover grew rapidly and in 1777 was declared the capital
of Delaware. At that
time, a number of stately homes were built around The
Green on State Street, many of which are still standing today in almost original
condition. Within walking distance from this historic area are Delaware State
museums, such as the Johnson
Victrola Museum, which houses a large collection of phonographs. Art enthusiasts
appreciate the Biggs
Museum of American Art, where local and national artwork dating back 200 years
is on display. Every Tuesday and Friday Spence's
Bazaar takes place. Visitors and locals alike attend this flea market, including
many Amish who travel to the market in horse-drawn carriages to sell their produce.
Two weekends each year, the Dover
International Speedway hosts Nascar stock-car races that attract over 100,000
spectators.
