Small Town Life Tour
A One-Day Tour in Central Delaware

Mom and Pop stores, quiet streets,  friendly people.  You can live and relive these aspects of small town life in Dover.  Experience the simple pleasure of the General Store at the Museum of Small Town Life and then visit the 21st-century version


The Johnson Victrola Museum- Parades and town-wide celebrations wouldn't be the same without the music.  This museum is an adventure in sound as it traces the history of music through the invention of the Victor Talking Machine Company and its mascot, Nipper.  It includes a storefront like that found in many of the small towns that dotted the rural landscape.
