City Information

Wilmington

Wilmington is a major city in Delaware, established at the site of the first Swedish settlement in North America. The charming city, at the confluence of the Brandywine River and Christina River, offers easy connections to the lush countryside of Brandywine Valley. Thanks to the venerable du Pont family, who established the DuPont Company in Wilmington in 1802, the city is filled with grand estates and magnificent gardens for visitors to enjoy. The Hagley Museum & Library is the ultimate example. The expansive complex includes the first home of the du Pont family, powder yards from the company's initial gunpowder mill, and a Renaissance-style garden complete with terraces.

To dive deeper into the city's history, check out the Fort Christina State Park, the site of Wilmington's original Swedish settlement nearly 400 years ago. Other popular attractions include the Delaware Art Museum and Brandywine Zoo.

Wilmington is easy to access from most of the mid-Atlantic region and is located between Philadelphia and Washington. In 2011, the city's Amtrak train station was renamed the Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Railroad Station in honour of rail enthusiast Joe Biden, who often commuted via Amtrak from Wilmington to Washington during his time as a Senator. Coaches from Wilmington also connect to cities like New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. Since the regional Wilmington Airport does not offer civilian flights, travellers can easily take a coach to the airport in Philadelphia for any air travel out of the area.

Westwood

Westwood, Massachusetts, is a small town about 13 miles outside of Boston. This quaint suburb's high-quality school system and 30-minute commute into Boston make it a popular place for families to live.

Although Westwood maintains a distinct small-town vibe, there are growing shopping opportunities in the University Station area and along High Street. Buckmaster Pond is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking, walking, and in the winter, ice skating. Several working farms in the area welcome visitors to walk around the land, meet barnyard animals, and purchase fresh produce and goods. The historic Bradley Estate in neighbouring Canton is also a gorgeous place to explore in the area.

Westwood connects to Boston via the MBTA commuter rail and is located right off I-95. Westwood also has its own Amtrak station, connecting to Amtrak's Northeast Regional line and Acela services.
