Delaware College of Art and Design

Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) was a private art school in Wilmington, Delaware. It was founded in 1997 through a partnership between the Pratt Institute and the Corcoran College of Art and Design. It was accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. On May 23, 2024, the college announced it would wind down operations and close permanently. History The Wilmington Renaissance Corporation established the school in 1997 as part of their downtown revitalization efforts. The school reached a record attendance of 250 students in 2011, which declined to 160 by 2017. Only 107 students remained in 2024 when the closure was announced due to low enrollment. Both the Moore College of Art and Design and Pennsylvania College of Art and Design agreed to accept incoming freshmen and rising sophomores as part of a teach-out plan. Campus DCAD's downtown Wilmington location was in the former Delmarva Power & Light Building at 600 North Market Street. The building was converted for use as studio and classroom space, as well as administrative offices for DCAD faculty and staff. The building was built in the Art Deco style and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 600 North Market building was the initial opening site for the college with an entering student population of 50. DCAD offered student housing on the adjacent blocks with Saville Apartments to the south at 521 North King Street and a second building to the north at 707 North King Street. The multimillion-dollar ($4.7M) expansion in student housing at 707 North King Street opened for Fall 2012 in response to a significant increase in requests for on-campus residency. The former hotel's kitchen was transformed into a student cafeteria for all resident and commuting students. However, as the student body dwindled, the school sold the Saville residential property in 2021.

Delaware Museum of Nature & Science

The Delaware Museum of Nature & Science (DMNH, formerly Delaware Museum of Natural History) is a museum located in Wilmington, Delaware. The museum was founded in 1957 by John Eleuthere du Pont near Greenville, Delaware; it opened in 1972 on a site near Winterthur, Delaware. It was re-opened on January 1, 2022, after being closed for two years. It is known for its extensive collections of seashells, birds, and bird eggs. The latter is the second largest collection in North America. It is the oldest natural history museum in Delaware. History The museum's core collection was started in childhood by the naturalist, philanthropist and high-profile convicted murderer John E. ("Golden Eagle") du Pont. Du Pont built a personal collection of seashells, birds and bird eggs. Even before getting a doctorate in natural science in 1965 and writing several books on birds, he became interested in developing a natural history museum. During and after graduate school, du Pont took part in several scientific expeditions to the South Pacific and the Philippines, and is credited with the discovery of two dozen subspecies of birds. At his request, his uncle Henry Francis du Pont provided land across from the Winterthur estate in the Brandywine Valley of Delaware for the museum. The museum opened in 1972 under the name of Delaware Museum of Natural History, attended by 200 du Pont family members and representatives of other Northeastern natural history museums. It was the first major museum of natural history opened since 1910. The museum originally was based on du Pont's collection of 1,000,000 sea shells and 100,000 bird eggs. The museum emphasizes the ecology of birds and sea life. In early studies, these were used by scientists to measure pesticide contamination of wild species. DMNH is ranked in the top fifteen in the United States for its collections of mollusks and birds, with the second largest collection of birds' eggs in North America. In 1999, the museum held a contest to name the star designated TYC 3429-697-1. The winning nickname, "The Delaware Diamond", entered in the contest by 12-year-old Wilmington resident Amy Nerlinger, was later recognized by the Delaware General Assembly and the star became an official state symbol in 2000. However, the star was nicknamed through the International Star Registry, making it unofficial and unrecognized by any astronomical authority. The museum had a major expansion in 2005 to add educational and exhibit space. It has been expanded to include exhibits on dinosaurs, mammals, and Charles Darwin. In 2020, it was announced the museum would be closing down to renovate. It reopened in 2022 under the current name of the Delaware Museum of Nature and Science. The new museum bears a focus more on state ecology and geology. References External links Official website Brandywine Museums & Gardens Alliance
Делавэрский музей природы и науки

Делавэрский музей природы и науки (англ. Delaware Museum of Nature & Science) — музей, расположенный в городе Уилмингтон, штат Делавэр. Музей был основан в 1957 году Джоном Дюпоном недалеко от Гринвилла (штат Делавэр), а открылся в 1972 году на новом месте — рядом с Уинтертуром (штат Делавэр). Известен своими обширными коллекциями морских раковин, птиц и птичьих яиц; коллекция яиц является второй по величине в Северной Америке. История и описание Основа музейной коллекции была заложена ещё в детстве натуралистом, филантропом и печально известным убийцей Джоном Дюпоном. Дюпон собрал личную коллекцию морских раковин, птиц и птичьих яиц. Ещё до получения докторской степени по естественным наукам в 1965 году и написания ряда книг о птицах он заинтересовался созданием музея естественной истории. Во время и после обучения в аспирантуре Дюпон участвовал в нескольких научных экспедициях в южную часть Тихого океана и на Филиппины; ему приписывают открытие двух дюжин подвидов птиц. По его просьбе дядя, Генри Фрэнсис Дюпон, выделил для музея земельный участок напротив поместья Уинтертур в долине Брэндиуайн (штат Делавэр). Музей открылся в 1972 году под названием Делавэрский музей природы и науки; на церемонии присутствовали 200 членов семьи Дюпонов и представители других музеев естественной истории Северо-Востока США It was the first major museum of natural history opened since 1910.. Это был первый крупный музей естественной истории, открывшийся с 1910 года. Экспозиция музея делает упор на экологии птиц и морских обитателей. В ходе ранних исследований учёные использовали эти коллекции для оценки уровня загрязнения диких видов пестицидами. Музей естественной истории Делавэра входит в число пятнадцати лучших музеев США по объёму коллекций моллюсков и птиц, а его собрание птичьих яиц является вторым по величине в Северной Америке. В 2005 году музей был значительно расширен: появились дополнительные площади для образовательных программ и экспозиций. В число экспонатов вошли выставки, посвящённые динозаврам, млекопитающим и Чарльзу Дарвину. В 2020—2022 годах в музее прошла реконструкция. Экспозиция обновленного музея в большей степени посвящена экологии и геологии штата. См. также Зоопарк Брандивайн Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт Brandywine Museums & Gardens Alliance
Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve

The Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve consists of two unique components, one on Blackbird Creek (39°23′47″N 75°37′04″W) and the other on the St. Jones River (39°05′33″N 75°26′44″W). Freshwater wetlands, ponds and forest lands dominate the Blackbird Creek component. The St. Jones component is dominated by salt marsh and open water habitats of the Delaware Bay. The reserve monitors long-term changes in weather and aquatic conditions in the estuary. The reserve’s research and monitoring programs address key management issues, such as biodiversity and the impacts of land use on estuarine habitats, ecological impacts on horseshoe crab populations from migratory shorebirds, beach replenishment activities in relation to habitat preservation/ reclamation, and eutrophication and contaminants in the estuary. St. Jones Center for Estuarine Studies The St. Jones Center for Estuarine Studies offers a wide variety of educational programs about the reserve for the general public, school groups, private and nonprofit organizations, educators and coastal decision makers. Coastal decision-maker workshops have included such topics as land-use planning and smart growth, energy resource conservation and development for the next decade and acoustical bay bottom mapping. Visitor can explore hands-on interactive activities and exhibits including fish tanks, a recycling center, restoration demonstration areas as well as a variety of programs and volunteer opportunities for the community, teachers, students, and families. The Center also supports ongoing research and monitoring, field studies, citizen monitoring programs, and training opportunities for coastal decision makers.

History The land in Delaware Seashore State Park saw frequent natural changes in the location of the inlet between the inland bays and the Atlantic Ocean. As a result, it was difficult to travel across this stretch of land. In 1939, two jetties were built to stabilize the Indian River Inlet at its present location. Indian River State Park was created by the State Park Commission in 1965, with the name becoming Delaware Seashore State Park in 1967. In 1966, the strip of land between the Little Assawoman Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east between South Bethany and Fenwick Island became a separate southern portion of the park. In 1981, the southern section of Delaware Seashore State Park became Fenwick Island State Park. The Indian River Life-Saving Station was built in 1876 by the United States Life-Saving Service in order to respond to shipwrecks along the Delaware coast. The station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to the public. Recreation Delaware Seashore State Park has 6 miles (9.7 km) of shoreline along the Atlantic Ocean, Rehoboth Bay, and Indian River Bay. The park offers swimming and sunbathing at two ocean swimming areas, which have bathhouses that offer showers and changing rooms, concession stands, and rental of umbrellas, chairs, and rafts. Fishing and boating are also popular at Delaware Seashore State Park. The park offers surf fishing along the ocean and angling at Indian River Inlet. The park has several dune crossings that allow four-wheel vehicles to access the beach for surf fishing.
