The Golden Fleece Tavern, at State Street & The Green in Dover. The tavern is the second incarnation of the name, with the original Golden Fleece Tavern being demolished in 1830 for a hotel that was closed itself in the 1920s. It was at this spot, on December 7, 1787, that the Legislative Council unanimously approved the ratification of the Constitution, and Delaware became a state. Happy 225th birthday, Delaware!

One of the biggest Christmas light displays in the nation, and the biggest in Delaware, is at this house on Red Lion Road in Red Lion. The owner of the house has been named the state's official Santa Claus because of his displays, and the house draws visitors from up and down the East Coast.

Signs of good will abound at Christmas, like this message left on someone's back yard fence on Polly Drummond Hill Road in Pike Creek.
