    Uncover the roots of the American Revolution and trace the pathways of the Underground Railroad that run through Delaware’s historic districts. Visit elegant mansions and world-renowned gardens in the morning before embarking on a tasting tour for local wines and brews. Tire the kids out with dinosaurs, pandas and a train ride before a night out on the town, with dinner for two and a show. Whatever your plans, whomever you’re with . . . there’s always something to do in Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley.
