Because Delaware is such a tiny state, many residents believe they’ve seen it all. Well, that couldn’t be farther from the truth! Our little state is known for hiding gorgeous places in out-of-the-way spots, and it’s likely you’ll stumble upon something new if you set out to drive around an area you’ve yet to explore. For many Delawareans, Milford is one of these underexplored towns, and there’s a Delaware nature center that should go on everyone’s First State bucket list.

Abbott's Mill and Nature Center has been preserved by the Delaware Nature Society, and this historic property covers more than 300 beautiful acres.
