3. 4.5 Marshall Steam Museum (14 reviews)
   - Fabulous Museum with Plenty of Displays
   Sunday: Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
   
   
   Less than five minutes from the center of Hockessin, the Marshall Steam Museum at Auburn Heights offers visitors a chance to step back in time and experience life at the dawn of the automotive age. The now-museum was built by T. Clarence Marshall in 1947 to house his growing collection of antique automobiles. Today, visitors can enjoy the many treasures at Auburn Heights thanks to the generosity and vision of Clarence's son, Tom, and his wife, Ruth. In 2008, they gifted to Delaware State Parks the estate land and buildings, including a beautiful 1897 Queen Anne mansion that was the Marshall home, while donating to the Friends of Auburn Heights, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, the extraordinary vehicles of the Marshall collection. The museum features the world's largest operating collection of Stanley steam cars, a 1916 electric car, and two 1930s Packards, in addition to the Auburn Valley Railroad with its 1/8th-size coal-fired steam trains that circle the property.

4. 3.5 Trinity Community Church (2 reviews)
   - TCC Family Fest 2021
   Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   We went to Trinity Community Church's Family Fest this past fall and had a great time! They had a trunk or treat for the kids plus inflatables, a corn maze, tractor pulled hayrides, LOTS of carnival style games with candy prizes, a bull ride and FREE food (hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn). They even has characters roaming around for the kids to interact with and take pictures. I saw Boss Baby, Minnie Mouse, Marshall from Paw Patrol, Mrs. Claus and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. In addition to all of this they had a prize giveaway where you could win substantial prizes like bicycles IF you found a golden ticket in your registration/entry bag. The entire event was FREE ON Halloween day. I would definitely return for this event sponsored by TCC again in the future. It was a great community event for families with children. It was well organized and FUN. See more..
