First State Heritage Park, Dover

The market fair on the first Saturday in November is so much fun for all. Troubadour, Punch n Judy show, blacksmiths, bakers (with wares to sell) and of course the tight rope walker are just a few events. Visit the website for more pictures.

First State Heritage Park is located in downtown Dover’s historic area and was established long ago as the state’s first urban park. Throughout the year, the park hosts a variety of annual events and festivals, especially during the spring, summer, and fall months. It’s also popular with historic minded travelers interested in stretching their legs and taking in the city’s older attractions on foot. The park’s amenities include walking paths, historical markers, and shaded seating areas. There are a number of restaurants, bars, and historic pubs nearby that tend to come alive in the afternoon and evening hours.
