Intersection of Route 9 and Route 113 - Photo Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover Air Force Base
Dominating the Landscape at the end of Route 9 is the Dover, D.E. Air Force Base, the largest military airlift command base in the United States and often the embarkation point for material and troops bound for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Also, at this southern terminus is the John Dickinson Plantation and the 430-acre St. Jones National Estuarine Research Reserve. The St. Jones Reserve, on the other hand, includes a one-mile, self-guided nature trail that includes a quarter-mile boardwalk across the marsh. Visitors can also visit Dover from this intersection. Dover is the Capital of the First State, offering several free museums and historic sites including the First State Heritage Park, Johnson Victrola Museum, Delaware Archeology Museum, Delaware Public Archives and the Biggs Museum of American Art. Stop at the Visitors Center on Federal Street for brochures and tour information.
