This historic alleyway marks an important route for Northern and Southern states to communicate, as well as a hotspot for international trade.
Use of this alley for commerce and communication dates back to colonial times, making it the most historically significant alleyway in Delaware. Walk the same steps that former presidents and other significant American figures took hundreds of years ago.
Packet Alley is a great site to connect with American history as well as snap a few photos in front of the iconic ivory soap advertisement or the striking waterfront.
