Delaware maintains a network of natural areas, historic sites and cultural institutions distributed across its three counties. In northern New Castle County, visitors find railroad museums, botanical gardens and forested state parks along Brandywine Creek, while the southern Kent and Sussex counties contain extensive coastal refuges, marshlands and Atlantic beaches. The state also preserves colonial-era sites, eighteenth-century plantations and regional history museums. Natural areas include Bombay Hook and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuges, which serve as important stopover points for migratory birds, and Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore State Parks along the coast. Trap Pond State Park in the interior protects one of the northernmost bald cypress swamp forests in North America. Cultural sites range from the Hagley Museum, which documents early industrial history, to the Wilmington and Western Railroad and smaller institutions such as the Nanticoke Indian Museum and Johnson Victrola Museum. Historic structures include Fort Delaware, wooden covered bridges and the New Castle Court House Museum.
