Delaware is the second smallest state in America—only Rhode Island is smaller—but what it lacks in size it makes up for in cultural clout. Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States and has since been known as "The First State." As such, a fair few of its visitor attractions date back to or are themed around this momentous period in American history. This is also one of the country's wealthiest states, a fact exemplified by the opulent former homes of some of America's richest families that now serve as fabulously extravagant museums. Furthermore, Delaware's golden beaches stretch almost the entire length of the state's coastline, which help make this diminutive destination one of the most sought-after summer playgrounds on the mid-Atlantic seaboard. So, are you looking to dive into Delaware?
