The John Dickinson Plantation features an elegant 1740 brick house, reconstructed outbuildings, and a log dwelling. John Dickinson is known as the "Penman of the American Revolution" and a signer of the Federal Constitution. Tours and programs enable visitors to compare and contrast lifestyles of the wealthy Dickinson family with those of tenants, poor whites, slaves, and free blacks residing in Kent County during the 1700s and early 1800s.
