Even though it was a free day, both tour guides took time to introduce us to the house and answer any questions we had. It took us just shy of an hour to go through, but we could've spent longer if we had read every piece of material and took in every photo in the collection. The grounds and surrounding park were also beautiful and well maintained. There was ample free parking. A nice way to spend the day!

We drove around and saw the locals out and enjoying the beautiful vistas, the ballfields and getting exercise in. The topography consists of a large grassy meadow sloping upwards towards hills that overlook the Brandywine River. Here can be had many views of the city of Wilmington. Be careful. It's a really steep drop to the river. Thankfully, There are many trees planted there that would discourage those with intact brain cells from attempting a descent. History nerd moment 1: The park is on the National Historic Registry. History nerd moment 2: Rockford Tower was built as a water tower over 100 years ago. From what I hear if you climb those spiral stairs to the top there are some of the best views of the city. History nerd moment 3: A few examples of statuary that were well cared for and well preserved. Of particular note was a statue of Samuel DuPont in civil war military attire at the Tower Road entrance very close to the famous Tower Hill school. Wonder why Dupont got such an illustrious statue when Bancroft donated 59 acres of his property and Dupont had to be convinced by Bancroft to donate 9 acres? There must be a statue of William Bancroft in the park somewhere. I'm going back soon to find it.

It's also very beautiful and has lots of green. The only thing I'm not a fan of is that I currently do live in Delaware, but my license plate is from out of State so I still have to pay out-of-state license fee for the parking. Maybe they will soon change it so that they will take bills as proof of Delaware resident as well.

The trail extends between two towns, and follows a former railroad bed with plenty of trees for shade and benches for rest breaks. Not as crowded as Gordon's pond trail! We rode the trail on bikes and parked for free at , Stephen T. Hudson Park , In Milton/Coolspring area. If your looking for a close landmark for GPS location to Stephen T. Hudson Park , its by the " Brimming Horn Meadery " in Milton. The park is basically a parking lot, rest area, and connects you to the Georgetown/Lewes trail. You're basically riding through lots of neighborhoods whose back yards back up to the trail and the home owners take pride in welcoming bike riders. Be on the look out for the backyard of dressed mannequins, pet memorial placing dog collars on fence , memorial to Jimmy Buffett, flamingos and interesting yard decor ! We stopped at Nassau bridge to "Old World Breads" (awesome bakery) , and "Dog Pirate Brewery."

There is also a nice gazebo at this playground which is also off to the side from the actual play area. The only 2 down falls I would say is no bathroom or trash cans to my knowledge but not bad enough to give it any less stars.

It had rained the night before so the trails were a little muddy and the wet leaves made things slippery so I stuck to the paved trail. One trailhead has restrooms and picnic tables. They allow bow and arrow deer hunting season but it is clearly marked. A family of deer crossed my path right in front of me. You can see one deer jumping across the path in one picture. The mom and baby crossed in front of me and I could hear rustling in the woods so I waited patiently for the dad to appear. Very peaceful. When the trails are not muddy, make sure you explore off on them. This is part of the Delaware Greenway system - make sure you check out all the other paths.
