  Greenbank Mills & Philips Farm is a 501(c)3 nonprofit historic site in Wilmington, Delaware, occupying a mill complex with roots stretching back to 1677.

Local tradition also holds that George Washington posted a guard at the mill during American troop movements along the Red Clay Creek following the Battle of Cooches Bridge.

  Buena Vista is a Greek Revival estate in New Castle, Delaware, built between 1845 and 1847 by Delaware statesman John Middleton Clayton. The property changed hands through several prominent Delaware families before C. Douglass Buck — a former governor of Delaware — and his wife Alice Hounsfield du Pont undertook significant renovations in the 1930s, adding a large library wing. The Buck family donated the estate to the State of Delaware in 1965, and it is now administered by the Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs as a conference and event center. The mansion's first and second floors comprise more than a dozen named rooms — including the Buck Library, Dining Room, DuPont Room, Douglass Room, and several private studies — each configurable for formal or casual use. An outdoor Pole Shed on the grounds expands the venue's capacity for larger gatherings. For events with 80 to 250 attendees, the entire estate — all rooms on both floors, the kitchen, and the surrounding grounds — can be reserved exclusively. Buena Vista works with any licensed and insured caterer, giving event organizers flexibility in food and beverage service. Building-wide Wi-Fi, digital projectors and screens, flip charts, and easels are available throughout.
