Our Mission:

“To stimulate and endeavor to perpetuate interest among the people of Delaware and elsewhere in John Dickinson, president of the State of Delaware under the Constitution of 1776 and a signer of the Constitution of the United States, and in the Mansion located in Kent County, Delaware near the St. Jones River, where he resided during a portion of his life, through the collection and dissemination of data with reference thereto.”
