Our Historic Home

The 1877 Pennsylvania Railroad Station on South College Avenue in Newark is home to the Newark Historical Society's Newark History Museum. The building is an attaction in itself, drawing railroad buffs from around the country. Inside, we offer several galleries full of exhibits that tell the story of Newark, Delaware from 1758 to the present day. We have something to delight visitors of every age. The museum is on the James F. Hall Trail, so stop by when you are out for a Sunday walk or bike ride.
