Join the Historical Society of Delaware for a nostalgic trip back to Grandma's house in their new Discovery Center for children at the Delaware History Museum.

Grandma's Attic provides a wholesome and educational play area for children where they can try on vintage clothes, play with historic games and toys or sit in an overstuffed lounge chair and read old books and magazines.

Attached to Grandma's Attic is a market and a 1940s kitchen, where children can pretend like they're running an old-fashioned corner store and take their purchases to the kitchen.

The discovery rooms are designed as a learn-and-play center for children 12 and younger that creates an environment where they will learn through play that history, reading, and culture are fun, fascinating and relevant to their lives today.
