Reviews of Delaware History Museum (Tourist Attraction)

Kimberly Moore-Jones

Very informative

Antoinette Fullman

Lots of artifacts and history

Autumn Bruemmer

Very big, very informative. I have been a native to Delaware my entire life, although short I still never knew most of the things brought into the light at this museum. I'm not sure how much regular admission is, but for college students with ID it's only $5. Worth the price, worth the parking meters (parking is along Market St, most are meters, 2 hrs max).

Great place to visit.

The history is breathtaking. I wish the tour went a little quicker. Just went from room to room waiting for the tour in front of us to be done. And they over book the size of the tours so many people neither I or my husband could see anything. Kinda frustrating.

Henry Kramer

Nice small museum. Their permanent displays are excellent, however I was disappointed with their temporary train display. It consisted of about a dozen signs.

Richard Gates

Awesome community event location

Pamela Saunders

Not a lot there. Had TV 's going and could hardly hear them. Have a grandchild that is deaf and he could not hear anything at all. Even with a hearing aid. Got up stairs and there was suppose to be a room open but it was locked disappointed

Veronica Bartley

Wonderful display of samplers, erudite docent.

Anthony Smoaks

Very educational

This is the second time I have visited the Museum since it reopened. I love the design with lots of images and text surrounding you as you walk through the exhibit. It was great being there this week for a panel discussion on Race and Education in Delaware. There is important work done here by local leading African American experts in education.

Great place to visit

Logan Jenkins

The guided tours were horrible

Myra L. Walker Williams

Whenever I visit another city/state I'd check out their museums. I enjoyed the DHM so very much. I'm a southern girl and it gave my heart so much pleasure seeing the dolls representing the "Four Little Girls" of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing. Awesome museum.

Staff are very friendly. Great place to start learning history of Delaware and city of Wilmington - geography, immigrant history, products and ship-building, civil war, world war, even about cooperate friendly laws etc. (If you want to learn about the DuPont family go to Nemours Estate and Hagley museum!!).

This museum is so well done. They had a lot of interesting artifacts and explanations covering a range of state history. The best thing, though, was the section on black history in DE. Absolutely well done! I learned things that I have never heard before, particularly about the state of schools for the black population 100 years ago, which promoted the Dupont family to reach into their own pockets to make a difference in the lives of these children. I also learned that DE played a role on the plaintiff's side in Brown vs. the Board of Ed, and even information about DE's involvement in the underground railroad. This place is a well-kept secret! Very reasonably priced, as well, and it even has student discounts. I would definitely go again. I'm pretty sure that I didn't even see everything!

Recommend this museum in the heart of Wilmington. Though it's not very large it has a number of interesting artifacts and exhibits. It was informative and well organized. You'll learn some new things and won't have to give up too much of your day.
