The variety of cityscapes and beautiful farmland, and Dover 's curious mix of old traditions and modern high-tech culture surprise many visitors. You will find Amish buggies on city streets and delicate shorebirds within a stone's throw of an active Air Force Base. But perhaps the most surprising aspect of the city is its variety of history. Dover boasts 11 first class museums and cultural centers! For those craving art, history, and culture, THE MUSEUMS OF GREATER DOVER offer it all - a collection of folk carvings the Smithsonian wanted, the Nation's only museum devoted to Air Force AMC history, the largest and finest collection of Victrola artifacts, buildings of national architectural merit, and more! In addition, most of the attractions offer free admission, adding value to your visit. Dover offers it all in a rich atmosphere, filled with charming streets and spaces of note, unique stores that give personalized attention, historic homes offering lodging, and a variety dining experiences. In addition, Dover 's central location in Delaware makes it the perfect place for overnight visits as you unpack once and explore not only Dover but also all of Delaware ! Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley attractions are an easy one hour's drive to the north. Delaware 's beach resorts, including Lewes and Rehoboth, are only one hour's drive to the south.
