Beautiful Cars, Breathtaking Estate Grounds, a Scenic Drive and Dinner all in one day!

The Marshall Steam Museum is first on the day’s itinerary.  It includes the world’s largest collection of operating steam cars, a 1916 electric car (not a Tesla!), several other automobiles and an operating 1/8 scale steam train.  During our visit, steam cars will be “fired up” and driven on the grounds of the museum.  Admission to the day’s events including the live steam cars and museum is $15 per person.  Buy your own tickets when you arrive. You do not need to register on the DVJC website for this location.

A nine-mile scenic drive will bring us to the Nemours Estate where we will tour the chauffer’s garage that holds six historic vehicles owned by the DuPont family and have time to tour the gardens and grounds of the estate.  Individual admission is $21 for adults 62+, $23 for guests younger than 62.  Pay at the gate. You do not need to register on the DVJC website to visit this location.

At the conclusion of our tour of Nemours, a scenic thirty minute drive will take us to the Naked Olive in Kennett Square for dinner.  The restaurant has a widely varied menu, plenty of off-street parking and is BYOB.  We will be seated at tables of six which will be grouped as closely together as possible.  Checks will be “by table” so no advance payment is required. However, we owe the restaurant a solid headcount by Sunday October 26.  Register below to indicate how many spaces we should reserve for your dinner.

Note:  These individual events are “al a carte.” You are encouraged to take part in all of the events but may participate in one or any combination of the three events that you choose.

U.S. 1 is only six minutes from the restaurant for a quick and easy return home.
