Small but a beautiful place. The guide was very polite and friendly. Many things to see and a lot to learn. Average time to spend is about 30 minutes. Great place to visit while you are are in Delaware.

Nice little exhibition. We very much enjoyed the explanations given by the Nanticoke hostess Morningstar.
