Nice place to hang out on a weekend night... nice vibes along the coast. I like to check out railroad history. There usually is more 😎
Nice slice of Railroad history for those interested. This is the remains of the Ticket Booth for the New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad from 1832.
Es un buen lugar para ir a caminar en verano, correr hacer bike, yoga o simplemente pasar un rato agradable, hay estacionamiento público
This historic ticket booth in New Castle's Battery Park dates to 1832. For a brief period, the train line serviced by this ticket booth provided the best connection between Philadelphia and Baltimore. Later used as a flagman's booth, it's been located in the park since the 1950s.
First State NPS location. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Stayed after closing on a Sunday to finish a conversation and let us get our NPS passports stamps. Was a delightful trip where we learned a lot of local and national history. Parking is limited. Steps to enter but call for any needed accommodations.
Allison was a fantastic tour guide. It was informative and not boring. Came in on a Saturday in March at 3. The hour went so quickly. I don't typically like museums but I did like this visit.
Knowledgeable guide led us thru the history of the museum. Please note the hours before you go. They only open the site for the tours, so if you miss the entrance time, you’ll have to wait until the next tour time. It’s free and well worth it. Lots of history told in an accessible way. Kids were entertained. Also worth just walking around New Castle. The Museum has handouts with information about the houses in town and the layout of the cemetery with history about the notable people buried there.
Unfortunately, there are many stairs inside making the upper floors not accessible. There is a number to call to set up a ramp for entry for anyone using a wheelchair. Inside the courtroom (first floor) there is space and a ramp that allows access to one of the wings. Plenty of street parking.

Our tour guide was dressed in period garb and was very knowledgeable and interesting. Never knew New Castle was once the capital. Very cool.
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the court house. Such incredible history! It’s a great way to begin your adventure of First State NHP. I implore you to sit in for the tour before getting your stamp. They start every hour at the half hour. Wendy was a great guide. Stamp is located in the back near the exit.
Gorgeous walk!
Since the Visitor Center was closed I stopped in here and found a tour with the guide who was in full costume and describing the history of the area around the time of the Declaration of Independence. It was very good!
We had a great time on the tour of the courthouse, the guide was full of great information. He taught us how courthouses were run, how it was built then burned down and rebuilt again. You can see the old foundation under the courthouse when you go inside.
Not much here beyond the ticket booth in the picture for but the location surrounding is very beautiful
Really great museum. They provide free tours until 3 pm.
Our guide (it was Thursday, April 6th) was very passionate about the court house museum and provided a lot of information.
The museum is not big but has a lot of great exhibitions.
Definitely recommend for everyone even for kids 5+
And don't forget to walk around - it's a great old town around the museum.

This is a really nice looking memorial. It's nice that this is here for those who are local. I remember stopping here and looking at all of the names.

Site of one of the first operational railroads in the United States. Very little here except a restored or replica ticket booth and rails on the ground enclosed by a picket fence. It is unclear if the rails are original or replicas as well.
This historic site is located and preserved in New Castle and next to Delaware river. This historic marker is located at the north end of New Castle Battery Park and currently, a ticket booth is retained at the sight of the marker. Being just adjacent to park and river, a great place to spend some time.
Fabulos
It's a good feeling to be able to walk where many others famous people have come thur in the past. Old New Castle is well kept.
It's a neat alley with some history behind it.
