Motels in New Castle

Cobblestone streets wind through America's most intact Colonial townscape, where history feels less like a museum and more like someone's well-kept home. The Green offers a perfect picnic spot after touring Amstel House with its period furnishings and tales of Revolutionary visitors. Fort Delaware State Park beckons history buffs to explore a Civil War fortress that once housed Confederate prisoners. Local restaurants serve comfort food in buildings that have witnessed centuries of diners come and go. The Delaware River provides a scenic backdrop for evening strolls, while shoppers can hunt for treasures at New Castle Farmer's Market. Come autumn, the historic district's brick sidewalks crunch pleasingly underfoot with fallen leaves from trees older than the nation itself.
