Yeah, a magical place. I was once there (I think, see later) as a little kid and the memories of it have stuck with me to this day. I just recall a magical place with the most amazingly huge trees. Been meaning to go there again since forever. Somehow the place just stuck with me. I think. The thing is neither I nor my parents remember exactly where we went, but it was somewhere in that general region so I've always guessed it must be this park. Descriptions of the park seem to be the best fit.
(I'd actually suggest that some might be older than people think per size rather than younger, granted Delaware might be just far enough south that maybe the typical estimates are right, but from what I see in NJ, I really think that in forest grown trees, not in the South, get under-estimated as per age of ten enough, you just can't compare to known open or field specimens of the North whatsoever to any remote sense at all of forest tree ages by size or look, anyway just my slowly building opinion although probably in extreme minority here.)
