Bowers is one of the discovery zones. The museum is actively working on a new, extensive walking tour to promote the history of the town. Another way the museum supports the community.
A group has been hard at work for the last 18 months developing a plan to encourage more people to see the state on foot, by bicycle or by kayak. The Delaware Bayshore Byway stretches a little more than 100 miles, from New Castle County south to Milton and Broadkill Beach. Within that stretch are 19 discovery zones where people can explore history and nature.
A public workshop was held Oct. 20. A variety of stakeholders presented recommendations that may be included in the final draft of the byway’s master plan.The plan includes 24 distinct walking and bicycling itineraries within the byway. In Milton, the byway group hopes to piggyback off work already done by the town's historical society.
