Welcome to Delaware's newest State Park location! This new gem would not be possible if not for the generous donation of the Auburn Heights Preserve by Tom and Ruth Marshall. Many thanks go to Tom and Ruth for not only this donation, but their continuing dedication to educating and entertaining the people of Delaware.
We would not be as far along in the park planning process if not for the dedicated volunteers and members of the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve. The Friends recently received a 2008 Governor's Outstanding Volunteer award. Delaware State Parks and the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve will be working in partnership to present Auburn Heights to the public. For more information on the Friends group and their collections, including the world's largest collection of operating steam cars, please visit the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve website.
The Friends of Auburn Heights will be holding their popular Steamin' Days events next year. In conjunction with these events, the Auburn Heights mansion will be open for tours. The last Steamin' Days of 2008 were held on November 28 and 29, capping off the year-long 100th birthday celebration of two steam cars in the collection.
