About: Tours of the John Dickinson Plantation, home to one of the founding fathers of the United States and signer of the Constitution, utilize a technique known as "character interpretation" in which trained historic interpreters depict characters from John Dickinson's era. Character-interpreted tours 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. The plantation also offers educational programs synthesizing historical data about slaves and free blacks residing on the plantation.
