delaware archaeology museum

Let me start by saying that I am a volunteer at this museum going on 4 years. That said, you wil find this museum not typical for a museum in that it is very much "hands on" and open for children to explore. The village is true 1800s to early 1900s and very original. If you happen to catch the docents doing their craft that is a plus, e.g., spinning cloth, demonstrating blacksmithing, or just answering questions about what you see there. Try to attend on a nice mild day as the larger room is not heated or air conditioned and can be uncomfortable if weather is extreme outdoors. The cost of the visit is very reasonable and the museum is not financially publicly supported.

Another reviewer has previously mentioned that this attraction has been closed for years. It's gone. Keeping reviews open for sties that no longer exit is not professional. You make it easy to post reviews but very difficult to actually communicate. Please take this site down, you are doing a disservice to the community.
