Start at Opera House Art & Antiques and Make a Day of It
Welcome to Historic New Castle—your perfect local day trip with national treasure vibes. It has national monuments and museums older than the Declaration of Independence. A Saturday farmer's market on the ancient Green (9 to 1PM). A checkered past shaped by the Dutch, the Swedes, and the British. And charming streets tucked along the Delaware River, just minutes from the I-95 rush.
No flights. No packing. Just an open afternoon, a sense of wonder, and your comfiest walking shoes.
✨ Stroll cobbled streets where history whispers from every brick.
🛍️ Browse shops filled with charm and character.
🍹 Sip something cool on a shady veranda.
🌳 Let the pace slow and the stories unfold.
