Delaware is known by several names. Because it was the first of the 13 original states to ratify the U.S. Constitution, it's been called the "First State." More recently, the tiny state has been dubbed "Small Wonder," due to its petite size and the vast contributions it's made to the country. But no matter what you call it, Delaware is all that and more. While camping in Delaware, discover the state's historic contributions by visiting one of many historic attractions: Lewes Historical Society in Lewes, Delaware Museum of Natural History in Wilmington, DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum in Fenwick Island, Delaware Agriculture and Village in Dover, and Delaware History Museum
