Auburn Heights Highlights from park interpreter, Dan Citron.
Visitors to Delaware State Park’s newest attraction will see what life was like at the dawn of the automotive age. Auburn Heights Preserve features a furnished mansion completed in 1897 as well as the Marshall Steam Museum with the largest collection of operating steam cars in the world. The collection is owned and operated by the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve.
The mansion, with its antique furnishings, and the museum, with steam cars and much more, are available for tours by appointment. To schedule a tour, call (302) 239-5687. Tours will also be available during special events.
Special thanks go to Tom and Ruth Marshall for their generous donation of Auburn Heights to Delaware State Parks.
