Back by popular demand! The Woodman Museum is a fun, eclectic and educational trip through local history and beyond. It opened in 1916. The Woodman House is devoted to history and natural history, as well as some unique surprises. The Damm Garrison, the oldest house in Dover, was built in 1675 during the Indian troubles, providing insight into life during this time. The Hale House shows the history of industry, transportation, trade, and recreation in Dover and houses examples of fine furniture. The museum is a collection of collections, including another house with a gallery for art shows.  It is one of Dover’s lesser-known treasures.  This tour is not to be missed. Please indicate in the comment section below if you plan to join the group for lunch afterwards.
