2 Best Sights in Dover, Delaware

Delaware's rich agrarian past is brought to life at this imaginative museum, which includes a re-created 1890s village and farmstead where you can step inside a range of buildings, including fully furnished homes, a store, schoolhouse, a corn house, and even a privy. There is also an exhibition hall detailing the development of farming in the state and related technology. Antique exhibits include a horse-drawn wagon, a crop duster, and threshers. The museum also hosts occasional special events.

The museum provides a fun and informative tribute to Delaware native Eldridge Reeves Johnson, who brought record-playing into American homes via the famous Victor Talking Machine Company he founded in 1901. Old Victrolas, phonographs, and decorative horns are displayed, and one section depicts a replica of a store that sold phonographs and records. In the music gallery, you can hear excerpts played from original discs on Victor machines.
