Constructed in 1791, the Delaware State House Museum served as the state capitol until 1933, and it's now an educational museum that offers an interesting look at life during colonial times. The building was originally constructed in a Middle Georgian style, and although it was remodeled in 1873 to have a Victorian style, it was restored to its original appearance in the 1970s. Guided tours are offered seven days a week, but larger groups are asked to call in advance to make sure they can be accommodated. Admission is free of charge, although donations are always appreciated.
