Visiting Wilmington
Wilmington is a small but powerful Delaware city situated at the confluence of Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania state lines just a short drive from Philadelphia. Its location made it the perfect place for large corporations to settle, earning it the name ‘Corporate Capital of America’. In fact, wealthy businessmen have been settling here for centuries, allowing it to boast a generous share of mansions and estates including Rockwood Park and Hendrickson House. While Downtown Delaware is full of city slickers, the Riverwalk area on the Delaware River offers a more relaxed and fun atmosphere. When you’re not exploring the city’s museums and historical houses, stop by Riverwalk to browse its boutiques and enjoy lunch with a view.
