The Artisans Gifts & Gallery — part of Trader's Cove at Penn's Place — has served as an artisan small business incubator and retail shopping experience since July 2010. Located in the former William Penn Bed & Breakfast, directly across the street from the Court House Museum and central location of Delaware's National Park in Old New Castle, it has become a shopping destination for unique, handmade gifts and accessories.
