First State National Historical Park

I came here with my son and we brought our bikes to ride around, great view here. It's a nice place to come. I saw runners, fishermen, people enjoying the pier, nice for taking a walk, and also nice to just sit on the grass and enjoy nature. I always love coming here to enjoy the historical town, eat in the restaurant, check out the antique shop, and Historical Museum. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

This place is so great! I'm always pleased with how nice it is to take pictures outdoors. Recently shot a few areas in the town for my friend's new business, and she was so pleased with the results. Will be coming here again for more photo sessions.

First State National Historical Park is actually a series of smaller state parks and historical houses that form up the larger National Historical Park. It was a really interesting concept because each park/ location gave a little bit of history. Each park that has their own visitor center has a place where you can get one of the national park passport stamps. The main address for this park is in historical New Castle. It's got a lot of history and includes the place where William Penn arrived and stayed. Very accessible and depending on which park you want to go, all are fairly close to each other.

Beautiful place in the First State. A great place to visit any time but especially when they have events. Check their website for events. Also a good place for children, plenty of space to run around and a nice playground.

To find and visit a small historic town near large city is really a joy. New Castle is about two hours from Washington DC area and from New York. It's a nice place for parents to show their kids about American history.
