In early December 1787, the thirty delegates (ten from each of Delaware's three counties) to the Delaware ratifying convention were called upon to make a momentous decision. For five days, they considered whether to approve the new, stronger central government proposed at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia the previous summer. Finally, on the 7th, the delegates unanimously voted to ratify the United States Constitution, making Delaware the first state to do so. Delegates gathered at The Golden Fleece Tavern, the same place where the state assembly sometimes met. The tavern itself is long gone but its site is well-marked at the corner of State Street and The Green. [Review 11536 overall, 1316 of 2019.]

The visitor center has a small exhibit and an introductory film which is nice but the guide prefaces by saying it "focuses too much on John Dickinson" (?) The exhibit focuses more on the family and the enslaved/servants who lived there, which really rounded out the property, but we did come here because we wanted to learn more about John Dickinson. No gift shop, which was disappointing. The tour itself was very informative, and there was a big crowd visiting when I did. Again, the tour seemed to want to downplay Dickinson and his role in the American Revolution. Likely because he thought the colonies weren't prepared to go to war, he abstained from voting for independence, he is less remembered than other Founding Fathers, but I came to learn about him, and the guide wasn't all that interested in talking about him and what he did accomplish. Still, the furnishings were nice, and we got to learn about Dickinson's father, his wife and family, and his brother who all lived there with a focus on the lesser-known residents. I think that could have all been balanced better. The view of the river is lovely, and there are some out buildings and a garden to stroll through. It's a nice outdoor site, and for free, it's still a good site to visit to see history being preserved.

The guide was nice and interesting. That is saying a lot, because I can get bored very easily. She spent an adequate amount of time in each room. Before we took the tour, we had to see a movie, that was about 15 minutes long, mostly about history. We were the only people there, and I got up during the movie and looked at the other exhibits in the room. I would say travel here if you like history or old houses/furniture.

The tours were free, but it wasn't crowded and we basically interrupted the guide's phone call. She did give us a personalized one-on-one tour after debating if she should wait to start the tour on the hour and said she'd be mad if someone else came in. She did give off a vibe like we were interrupting her sitting around time. Despite that, she was very knowledgeable on the history of the building, and it was nice to be able to look around with someone and ask them questions. The inside really seemed a lot like Independence Hall in Philadelphia. It's amazing the small, perfunctory building was in use until like 1933. There was a really nice painting of George Washington in one of the rooms and good information on early delegates. If you are in the area, it's a free stop and there's free parking, and there's good information and not too long to see. It was worth visiting. No gift shop though.

It was completed in 1933 with wings added in 1970 and 1994. Entrance, guided tours and parking are free (visit webpage: Planning a visit: Delaware General Assembly). Our guide gave a very informative 30-minute tour of the Delaware House of Representatives and Senate chambers. One tidbit of info from the tour: the majority party gets seats closest to the windows. It might be for the better view, better temperature or something totally different. There are series of 10 "Bicentennial Murals" painted by Delaware artist Jack Lewis that span the two chambers. They commemorate the 200th anniversary of Delaware signing the United States Constitution on 12/7/1787. Above the State Senate dais are 3 murals: The Dickinson Plantation (framer of the Constitution); Ratification on the Delaware Constitution; and Caesar Rodney's Ride. Above the State House of Reps dais are 3 murals: Landing of the Swedes (1638); George Washington at New Castle (wedding, 1784), and Old Swedes Church in Wilmington.

Additional wings were added to the building in 1965-1970 and 1994. The building is a Colonial Revival style and is quite similar to the Old Colony House in Newport RI. It is opposite the Old State House on the mall. The original capitol of Delaware was the State House (now known as the Old State House) and is located nearby on The Green. It was originally the Kent County Court House, which shared the building with the state government until 1873 when the Kent County Government relocated. Inside Legislative Hall is the Hall of Governors, which includes portraits of all of Delaware's past governors. There are also a number of other political and military portraits. If you're going to be officially visiting State Capitols as I am, then this is the correct building. This was my 35th on the way to all 50! [Review 11538 overall, 1318 of 2019.]
