The city of Dover is both the capital of Delaware and the county seat of Kent County. Centuries ago, a man named William Penn founded Dover. Penn initially envisioned Dover as a court town. However, Dover was expanded into a full-blown city by the Delaware General Assembly in 1717. The city of Dover would play a pivotal role in the American Revolution; military leader Caesar Rodney called Dover home and used it as his base of operations. Years later, Dover also played a crucial role in the 19th Century Abolitionist Movement. Dover was an Underground Railroad checkpoint for many years and housed a large, anti-slavery Quaker community.
All of this may sound like ancient history. Still, many of the events that molded Dover into the city it is today happened quite recently. Moreover, Dover’s citizens continue to celebrate their city’s history each and every year. Numerous statues and memorials decorate almost every part of town. Annual festivals are held to commemorate Dover’s past. Guests can even find Revolutionary War reenactments if they know where to look. Those who’d like to learn more about America’s history should visit Dover. Those who are well-read on the subject should also visit to gain new insights and perspectives.
As of 2018, Dover’s population has surpassed the 38,079 mark. Compared to other state capitals, Dover’s community is medium-sized. Many of its citizens have lived in the city their entire lives. In fact, it’s these same citizens who come together to preserve Dover’s landmarks and host festivals each year. Overall, Dover has a very homely and peaceful atmosphere. That’s why so many tourists visit. Luggage storage options can fill up quickly in medium-sized cities like Dover. That’s why guests should use Bounce to store their things.

Most know that the United States of America has consisted of 50 states for decades. However, there was a time when America was composed of only 13 colonies. Delaware was one of those original 13 colonies. It’s no surprise that all of Delaware’s cities - especially Dover - take great pride in this fact. One need only visit Dover’s museums, art galleries, and historical exhibits to see.

This museum first opened in 1933 and houses collections from some of America’s most respected artists. Anyone looking to explore the Biggs site should visit their website first and then use Bounce to store their things.
Johnson Victrola Museum: Elridge R. Johnson, better known to most Dover citizens as E.R. Johnson, was one of Delaware’s most industrious sons. Johnson established the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1901. The Johnson Victrola Museum is a tribute to both the man and his company. Guests are encouraged to stop by this amazing museum after they store their things with Bounce.

Convenient to the Met, which does not allow luggage at coat check. Very easy check in and check out process, with lovely people at the front!

This was so cool!!!! Great service, extremely easy to use, and totally affordable! I didn't know where I'd leave my luggage while we explored San Fran, so I easily Googled luggage storage and found this company. At first it was a little odd dropping my bag off at a chocolate store, but the lady at the register was able to immediately pull up my reservation without any problems and then she put a lock on my suitcase and gave me a card to get it back with. She pushed the bag to the back of their storage room and I came back about 6 hours later to pick it up. Great service, I will definitely be using this again when I travel!
