Do not miss this gallery! It's worth a trip from anywhere to Milford to see it. I've been looking everywhere in Delaware for a gallery of this quality. She has amazing pieces of all types, art, textiles, pottery, etc, from well known juried artists as well as little known talent that she's discovered. The quality is much like you'd see at the Baltimore Crafts Fair or other places. Designers, this is a must-visit. Marcia is very welcoming. If going during the week, best to call her and make sure she's there. She's very accommodating, even on short notice.

Abbott's Mill Nature Center

Abbott’s Mill Nature Center encompasses a picturesque pond surrounded by meadows, streams, woodlands, swamps, wetlands, a historic gristmill, and a modern education building. At the heart of Abbott’s is the 377-acre Milford Millponds Nature Preserve, where 5 miles of free trails wind their way through woodlands to meadows as wildflowers, birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and insects flourish. Additionally, our 108-acre Marvel Saltmarsh Preserve, located in the Town of Slaughter Beach, is used for seasonal education programs and hosts a new pair of nesting Ospreys. Built in 1802, and on the National Register of Historic Places, Ainsworth Abbott’s Mill is a preserved, working gristmill run solely by a water turbine, and features both a stone & roller mill operation. Public tours of the Mill are offered every 3rd Saturday, March – November, from 2 – 3:30 pm. Educational programs for the public, schools, and scouts are offered year-round for all ages. Our Visitor Center is pet friendly and offers a variety of free exhibits including an aquatic touch tank. Abbott’s serves as a partnership between the Delaware Division of Historical & Cultural Affairs, the Division of Fish & Wildlife, and the Delaware Nature Society, a state-wide, 6,000 member, non-profit organization whose mission is to improve our environment by connecting people to the natural world through education, advocacy, and conservation. DNS members receive reduced pricing for programs, free canoe rentals on Abbott’s Pond, and discounts at local retail affiliates. We are located just 4 miles from downtown Milford, DE, at 15411 Abbotts Pond Road, off Rt. 36. The Visitor Center is open year round Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, and during April – November on Saturday & Sunday as well, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm.

Interactive learning stations, kiosks that inform, outdoor views with available binoculars, knowing and attentive staff, and great weather made a great afternoon learning adventure. We've gone since for seal watches, quiet surroundings, and patronage to our local wildlife center.

Yup. I did it again. The friendly, personable, and knowledgeable bartender, Skyler, pulled a fresh draft of my favorite IPA, Pineapple Express, in honor and tribute to Beer Day. Great taste. Great finish. Great brew. Thank you.
