The Delaware Discoveries Trail features interactive murals by local and national artists that highlight some of the state’s most interesting sites.
A drive across Delaware showcases rolling fields, sand and surf, quaint towns and transforming cityscapes.
Now those views include a bit more artistry, thanks to Visit Delaware’s Delaware Discoveries Trail. Created to boost tourism, especially among a younger demographic, the trail consists of 10 interactive murals painted by local and national artists, with vastly different backdrops.
Unveiled in fall of 2020, the murals are on display with no current end date.
In recognition of Small Business Week and National Travel & Tourism Week (May 2-8), Gov. John Carney will join the Delaware Tourism Office to visit small businesses and attractions in Kent, New Castle and Sussex counties this week, including a visit to the Delaware Botanic Gardens.
âWe want to take this week to salute the folks who pour their heart and soul into running Delawareâs small businesses,â said Carney. âThese have not been easy times for our small-business owners, especially those in the tourism and hospitality industry. But they have gone above and beyond for their customers. They understand you canât have a healthy economy without a healthy community. Aside from buying local, the most important thing Delawareans can do to help our small businesses and economy is to get vaccinated so we can beat COVID-19.â
