Cool Things in This Postcard ✨
- Cherry Trees in Bloom 🌸 These are the same trees that have grown along New Castle's waterfront since 1923. They bloom for just two weeks each spring when the streets turn pink.
- Really Old Buildings 🏛️ The buildings in the postcard are from Old New Castle, built in 1732. The wavy glass in their windows is original - they didn't know how to make flat glass back then!
- The Blue Rooster 🐓 This is the famous "Fighting Blue Hen" statue that stands in front of the Old State House. Delaware's sports teams are named after this bird.
- Old-Time Look 🎨 The postcard looks like ones from 100 years ago, using the same kinds of colors that old postcards used.
- Perfect Size 📏 It's exactly postcard-sized (148x105mm) so you can mail it or put it in any frame.

Tips from a Local Historian 🌟
- Paper Choice 📝 Old-style cream-colored paper makes the postcard look more like it's from colonial times. Most craft stores have this.
- Display Ideas 🖼️ Try putting it in a dark wood frame - that's what they used in colonial Delaware homes.
- Writing Notes 💌 Use blue ink - it was the most common color in colonial times and looks great on the paper.
- History Connection 📚 Put this postcard next to shells from the Delaware beaches - sailors used to collect them just like we do now.
Fun Facts About This Place 🌅
The buildings in this postcard are still standing today in Old New Castle. People actually live and work in them! The cherry trees bloom every April, just like they have for 100 years.
