the darker side of New Castle's history, then join the New Castle

inside one of the most haunted mansions of Old New Castle! You'll begin your journey into New Castle's supernatural side with a tour of the legendary Amstel House - one of New

will hear macabre tales of hauntings, Victorian death & funeral customs, and crime &
punishment that span the 360-year history of this
Delaware River town.
