- A Family Photo by the Crab, Old Mill Crab House, Delmar

- Caesar Rodney in Rodney Square, Wilmington
Flickr / j p Paul Revere gets all the credit for midnight rides, but Rodney’s Independence Day ride through a thunderstorm was so important that an entire area of Wilmington is named after the man - along with a school district and several streets! Delawareans pay tribute to him with an iconic statue in our biggest city.
