From earliest times to today, people have harvested the rich bounty of Delaware's waters and wetlands.  This special exhibition at the Delaware History Museum explores the history and culture of the waterman's life from the eighteenth century to present-day Delawareans.  Come and learn how crabs, oysters, shad, and even whales have been part of Delaware's story.
These programs are generously supported by Ciba Specialty Chemicals Friends of Ducks Unlimited,     Brandywine Chapter Delaware Today There is something for all ages at Whales, Weirs, and Waterfowl... "fish" off a pier.... see what it feels like to sit in a duck blind... and much more!
