Learned so much about John Dickinson and Delaware history. Our tour guide was terrific. Film in the visitors center was informative.

House tour is approx 30 min after watching a 15 min movie. Grounds are very simple. Chris, our house docent, did a terrific job explaining the first floor and the family history. John Dickinson...

Of course it helped that we visited on a beautiful day but the place is full of history and our tour guide Chris led us on a tour of the house and impressed us all with his knowledge of life when it was an active plantation. A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Interesting place to learn some historical facts about one of the lesser known founding fathers. This place gives you a glimpse to the times where slave labor was used for farming. They have an actually replica hut of were slaves lived. Great experience and out tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice. Some of the structures were close and the tour is limited to the mansion and not the surrounding structures.
