The Woodman Museum was founded in 1916 from a trust established by Annie E. Woodman to: " To advance and develop passion for History, Nature, and the Arts." To educate, excite, and inspire current and future generations about . . . a changing nation by preserving and exhibiting objects of historic significance, decorative and fine art, and natural science that connect Dover and its citizens to . . . the world." A visit to the Woodman offers an intimate and personal opportunity for visitors to explore and experience history, natural sciences, and the arts.
