Fall season in Delaware just got more exciting! The famous Wilmington & Western Railroad in Wilmington is back after nine months of repairs, and it’s ready to take visitors through beautiful fall views.
This historic train runs through the Red Clay Valley, a stunning countryside area known for its colorful fall leaves. If you want to enjoy Delaware’s peak fall colors, now is the time — the best views are between late October and early November.
