Event information
Walk goes through the historical section of New Castle, along a paved greenway, and a paved trail along the Delaware River. There are several older uneven brick sidewalks.There is also an old ticket office for the Frenchtown Railroad, one of the first in America, near the park. It was moved there in the 1950s. The railroad was built in 1832 using granite sleeper blocks supporting wooden rails covered with iron straps. It was part of a water-rail-water route from Philadelphia to Baltimore and connected New Castle to the Elk River. Some of the granite sleeper blocks can be seen along the water's edge near the Wharf and a section of the strap rail can be seen near the old ticket office. Many sites to see, Dutch House, Amstel House and George Reed House and Gardens. Seasonally old sailing vessels like the Kalmar Nyckel dock at Battery Park for tours and sailing adventures.
