Dover’s museums offer a deep dive into American art, agriculture, and aviation history. The Biggs Museum of American Art, located near the state capitol building, showcases an impressive collection of fine and decorative arts. Just steps away, the Old State House—built in 1791—provides a glimpse into Delaware’s political past. The Delaware Agriculture Museum brings rural heritage to life with an extensive collection of tractors, farm equipment, and an authentic 1890s village complete with a historic barn and windmill.
