John Bell House
The John Bell House, built in the mid-1700s, offers a rare look into everyday life in Dover's earliest days, as it witnessed generations of pivotal events: from marching Revolutionaries to determined Freedom Seekers and crusading suffragists. Offering living history programs, crafts and signature thematic walking tours, your Delaware capital experience begins at the John Bell House - where the size of a place doesn't reflect the scale of the stories waiting to be told.

Historic Trades: Colonial Candle Making
Saturday, April 15, 2023
10:00 AM
The nights were darker in the 18th Century. Without the benefit of gas or electric lighting, our colonial ancestors relied on fire — one of humanity's oldest technologies — to light the darkness. Candles were made by hand in the eighteenth century, from beeswax and linen wicks. This program will provide information on historic lighting and present an opportunity for a hands-on experience with dipping candles. Participation is first-come, first-served and free. Participants wishing to keep their dipped candles may do so, the fee being $10 for a pair or $5 for a single taper. Payment can be accepted by CASH ONLY.
