About our galleries and building: Parke Green Galleries https://www.facebook.com/parkegreengalleries (N. Taylor Collins, Jan Crumpley & Susan S. Johnston) on the corner of South State Street & Dover’s historic Green. This historical building (the Parke Building), formerly the Sign of the Golden Fleece Tavern (1742 as an Inn & tavern, was named the Golden Fleece in 1749-1829) & then the Capitol Hotel (1831-1926). Most notably, when it was the Golden Fleece Tavern, it was used by the state legislature as meeting hall from 1777-1791 until the State House was finished being built, just 3 buildings down on the Green. In 1787, inside the Golden Fleece, Delaware became the FIRST STATE to ratify the Constitution and in 1790, Delaware became the 5th state to ratify the Bill of Rights.

So wonderful to have so many national and international visitors today. This lovely couple are visiting from South Africa. He is teaching a class in Houston and his son is going to be working here in Dover. Love the British accents. I think they are first I recall from Cape Town. They are on their way to DC and staying in DuPont Circle, my old stomping grounds. Told them where my favorite restaurants are and which galleries to not miss and best place to take their photo with capital in background. They are really excited to be going there. They’re hitting another city later on but I forget which one. Amazing how many tourists come here all the time and are so interesting to talk with. Love sharing info and learning from them.
